Condrieu Coteau De Vernon 2010 Georges Vernay 2 x 75cl / 14.5%

This lot contains four bottles of Condrieu Coteau de Vernon 2010 from producer Georges Vernay.

'The palate is a full-hearted, savoury affair; it rustles up a fluid depth of smoky, simmered white fruits, the texture rich throughout. It has a red wine physique, and lengthens with a firm suppleness, as it were. The finish involves a little burnt sugar, white raisin. This will be very long-lived Vernon, and will be of great interest after 10 years. Its rich depth is more commonly associated with white Hermitage, and at least 1.5°C warmer lands, further south. Balance and strength lie in the glass; even its juice is thick, with glycerol drops. 5*' John Livingstone-Learmonth, drinkrhone.com

This lot comes from the temperature-controlled cellar of media businessman and wine enthusiast Lord Evgeny Lebedev, where they have been kept since purchase direct from UK importers.
