Jeantet-Laurent The Secret of Pliny AOP Condrieu 2015 Organic and Vegan White Wine This specific vintage, produced in a limited amount of fewer than 1,000 bottles, originates from a selection of small areas (with integrated cultivation) that contain granite and metamorphic rocks (such as quartz, feldspars, and micas). The grapes are carefully hand-picked in multiple sorting stages to capture the full range of flavors. The winemaking and maturation in oak barrels are executed with meticulous care to highlight the intricate characteristics of the Viognier grape. This exceptional wine reveals aromas of apricot and dried fruit spices, complemented by subtle notes of almond and nutty spices. Pliny the Elder, a 1st-century Roman writer and naturalist, is known for his extensive encyclopedia titled Naturalis Historia (completed around 77 CE), which covers a wide range of topics including astronomy, anthropology, and natural sciences - including vineyards and wine. In Book XIV, consisting of 22 chapters, Pliny the Elder thoroughly covers the topic of wine, specifically the Viognier grape, hence the wine in his honor. Grape: Viognier (100%) Potential Aging: 10-15 Years This special wine can be summed up as "luscious" and though an older vintage, it is a wine to savour the nuances of Conrieu (located in the northern Rhône region). The essence of history in a glass.
