Georges Vernay,
Condrieu 1996
購入地點:長榮桂冠
購入價格:NT 660 (特價)
個人滿意度:****--****(*)
日前去參加長榮所舉辦的西班牙品酒會時，發現那邊有些品項在出清特
賣，詢問過阿德的意見後買了這瓶Condrieu，這也是個人第一次喝Viognier
這種葡萄品種。印象中在台灣見到的Condrieu一般而言均要一張至二張
(或更多)小朋友，這樣的價錢並不十分常見。
這隻酒在開瓶後立刻散發相當優雅的水果香氣，並帶著一些蜂蜜的氣味，
感覺相當不錯。酸度並不是很高，喝起來已十分成熟，口感頗圓潤。開瓶
過了一陣子之後香氣較之前更為外放，仍然是以水果類的香氣為主，酒體
則較剛開瓶時顯得飽滿，餘韻帶有一絲酒精的感覺，有點像是某些比利時
啤酒的味道，長度相當不錯。以一隻六百元的白酒而言，個人覺得品質／
價格比相當好。
WA的酒評:
Score:84
Georges Vernay, who had to relinquish the title of "Mr. Condrieu"
to Marcel Guigal, since the latter proprietor now produces more
Condrieu than anyone else, has fashioned three solid efforts in
the difficult 1996 vintage. The 1996 Condrieu is an understated,
acidic wine with medium body, some elegance, and a lemony, citrusy
character that is atypical of this cuvee. It should provide correct
drinking for 1-2 years. All of the 1996s from Vernay exhibit more
of a grapefruit character than is normally found in these wines.
It appears that in vintages where there are immature flavors,
these Condrieus possess an apricot and peach-like fruit, whereas
in years of less ripeness, there is more of a honeyed citrus and
grapefruit-like personality.
