The estate and the wine
The estate and the wine A historic and family-run estate in Ampuis, Domaine Lafoy stands as a staple of the northern Rhône. The arrival of Gaëtan Lafoy has elevated the quality even further in a continuous quest for freshness and precision. He produces impeccable cuvées in a natural and very digestible style, complemented by beautiful aging in wood.
Wine Resting on a beautiful harvest maturity, the 2022 white Condrieu Aux Ruses presents the confident expression of Viognier, with characteristic aromas of white peach, spices, and apricot. The well-structured palate supports this sincere and expressive fruit, with perfectly managed aging that already provides a delightful and clear interpretation of Condrieu. A very fine dining white, best paired with poultry or scrambled eggs with truffle, for example.
Vinification Hand-harvested, aged in barrels, 30% of which are new.
