The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine The Guy Bernard Estate is a great estate that is still unknown by the general public. Established on the beautiful hillsides of the Côte Rôtie and Condrieu appellations, on only 6 hectares of vines, this small estate frees itself from any ostentatious style in favor of more purity, fruitiness and balance. Skillfully vinified, the wines have a brilliant balance between finesse and power.
Wine Soberly matured, the 2021 White Condrieu Bassenon is faithful to its heritage and offers beautiful aromas of peach and apricot. The palate has a beautiful balance, in a rather digestive and fine style. To be paired with an aperitif, with delicate starters or with river fish. Rated 93/100 by the Committee.
Vinification Manual harvesting, cold static settling, alcoholic fermentation at low temperature, weekly stirring of the lees until malolactic fermentation.
Maturation, for 80% of the harvest, in barrels (10% new) and 20% in stainless steel tanks.
