Based in Chavanay in the northern Rhône, Domaine Faury is a family estate known for traditional expressions of Syrah and Viognier grown on steep granite slopes along the Rhône Valley. Condrieu Brumaire is produced from Viognier grown on hillside vineyards planted on decomposed granite soils typical of the appellation. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts in French oak barrels, followed by ageing on fine lees to develop texture and aromatic depth. The warm 2018 vintage delivered generous fruit balanced by freshness. Compared to the estate’s La Berne Vieilles Vignes, Brumaire offers a slightly lighter and earlier-drinking style, combining apricot, peach and floral notes with rounded texture and mineral lift. https://www.vins-lionel-faury.fr
