An archetypal fruity wine and one of the best examples of its appellation!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLes Terrasses de l'Empire is made from 35-year-old Viognier vines, from several small parcels on the steep slopes of Condrieu. The grapes are hand-harvested at full maturity, then the whole crop is put in direct pressing. After static clarification, the fermentation of the clear juices happened in barrels and temperature-controlled wooden vats. The ageing is carried out in wooden vats, on fine lees and in barrels for 8 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore About The Winery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"222\" data-end=\"591\"\u003ePerched on the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"237\" data-end=\"275\"\u003esteep granite terraces of Condrieu\u003c\/strong\u003e,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"277\" data-end=\"303\"\u003eDomaine Georges Vernay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eis the undisputed reference for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"336\" data-end=\"348\"\u003eViognier\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eand one of the greatest domaines in all of France.
