From the deeply steep slopes of Condrieu, Domaine Faury farms these terraced vineyards with a deft and precise touch. The grapes are carefully picked, pressed, and fermentation takes place in steel tank. Part of the wine spends 11 months in large oak barrels on the lees. This classic version of this esteemed dry white wine is redolent yet restrained. Faury use a light hand, and the elegant wines they produce are decidedly old school. To pair with poultry and spring asparagus.

The practice of adding Viognier to Syrah began as a way of taming the very ripe, tannic reds of the hot Côte Rôtie ("roasted slope"), but it produced such incredible results that other countries, most notably Australia, have followed...
