Pale gold. Signature Viognier lift of white peach, apricot, honeysuckle and orange blossom over a delicate creamy oak note and a touch of ginger. Full-bodied, silky and glycerol-rich on the palate, but with the bright northern-Rhône acidity that keeps everything in line. Long, floral, saline finish. Serve chilled with grilled scallops, buttery chicken, Thai green curry, or on its own as an aperitif.
2024 Vintage — Condrieu AOC, Northern Rhône, France
Paul Jaboulet Aîné is one of the Northern Rhône’s most historic houses, dating back to 1834 and famous the world over for its Hermitage ‘La Chapelle’. Under the Frey family’s stewardship the domaine has recommitted to organic and biodynamic farming across its vineyard holdings, and to a lighter, more site-driven style throughout the range.
‘Les Cassines’ is Jaboulet’s Condrieu — a Viognier from a selection of small growers on the steep, granite terraces above the village of Condrieu. Whole-bunch pressed, fermented in barrel (a small proportion new) and aged briefly on the lees to add texture without dulling the varietal aromatics.
