Château GRILLET 1992
Château-Grillet is both an appellation and a producer in the Rhône Valley. It is one of the first appellations created in France; the winemaking history of Château-Grillet dates back to the 3rd century, and the reputation of the estate and its wines can be traced through the ages (for example, Empress Joséphine de Beauharnais had around 300 bottles of Château-Grillet in her cellar). Château-Grillet was listed as a National Heritage Site in 1976, and was purchased in 2011 by François Pinault , also owner of Château Latour in Bordeaux. The 3.5-hectare vineyard is located south of the famous village of Condrieu and planted with the Viognier grape variety.
Each stage of the vineyard work is carried out by hand. Each plot is pressed and vinified individually to preserve the characteristics specific to each terrace. The wines are then aged in French oak barrels, approximately 20% of which are new , and the final blend is carefully crafted from these barrels.
Grape variety: 100% Viognier
"Château-Grillet 1992 expresses a rare complexity: ripe notes of apricot, honey and dried flowers, with an elegant mineral touch."
