YOUNG VIOGNIER ON THE COTEAU DE VERNON AT CONDRIEU

JUNE 2015

COTEAU DE VERNON from DOMAINE GEORGES VERNAY approaches sophisticated white Burgundy in its intricacy, and should be drunk when aged at least five or six years. Examples from my cellar of this wine at considerable age have been: the ****** 1976 drunk in November 2009 with the Vernays, the ***** 1983 drunk in October 2005, and the ***** 1996 drunk in July 2011. 

An April 2015 vertical tasting of COTEAU DE VERNON DOMAINE GEORGES VERNAY from 2008 to 2013 has been posted.
