Condrieu is a French wine region located in Northern Rhone. Condrieu translates to “corner of the stream”, which correlates to the location of the area along the bends in the Rhone River. Condrieu consists of approximately nine miles of the Rhone, with seven villages: Condrieu, Verin, Saint Pierre de Boeuf, Saint Michel Sur Rhone, Malleval, Limony, and Chavanay. Condrieu is entirely devoted to Viognier. Condrieu whites are full-bodied with soft aromas. Production is notoriously small due to the heavy winds from the North. This causes severe crop damage, which also makes the area exceptionally expensive to cultivate. The soil of the area is mainly granite along with chalk, flint and mica and situated on Southeast facing slopes. The terrain is steep, thus forcing the harvest to be done by hand. The location also allows for longer periods of sunlight, which produces a rich and ripe wine.

Roland Champion Champagne Blanc de Blanc Grand Cru 2014 is made from 100% Grand Cru Chardonnay from the chalky soils of Chouilly.
This Champagne is full of elegance and finesse. Very complex nose, with a bouquet of aromas dominated by honey, brioche and notes of dried fruits, hazelnuts and sweets. Perfectly matured.
Manual harvest; then pressing immediately to avoid oxidation & preserve quality. Free run juice only. Aged six years on the lees.
It matches magnificently with foie gras!
Review:
"Based in Chouilly on the Côte des Blancs, it is obvious this producer will have a Blanc de Blancs Champagne. And very good it is, with some age after six years on lees while still having freshness, crisp acidity and a tight, steely edge. The bottling will benefit from further aging, and it will be at its best from 2022. - ROGER VOSS"
