M. Chapoutier Condrieu Invitare 2021

Chapoutier's Condrieu 'Invitare' (a name derived from Latin), is an invitation to share a friendly moment, an allusion to the old Latin traditions that persist in the Rhône region to this day and, as with Côte-Rotie, the Condrieu vineyard has an impressive history that dates back to Roman times. Made from 100% hand-harvested Viognier grapes the Condrieu Invitare undergoes a period of short ageing on its lees for approximately 8 months in order to preserve freshness and the varietal character of the Viognier grape. Maturation is carried out in oak to add to the wines depth and complexity, 15% of the wine is aged in new barrels to preserve the freshness and minerality of the fruit, whilst the remaining 85% is aged in a combination of one and two year-old demi-muids adding consistency, power and aromatic complexity to the wine. A wonderful deep golden yellow in colour the Invitare Condrieu displays vibrant aromas of exotic fruits (pineapple), acacia blossom, lychee, apricot and peach. The palate is well rounded generous and with great length with a final note of vanilla to finish.

Vintage Availability

We endeavour to display accurate and current vintages on all our wines listed on the website; however, from time to time stocks of the vintage listed do become exhausted. If this is the case with your order we will always contact you to recommend another vintage of the same wine, if it is still available. If the vintage of a wine is important to you then please leave a note at checkout advising us of this. 

 

Stock Availability

As we are retail stockists, selling from our Ledston shop as well as online, it makes it difficult for us to show a 'real-time' inventory of our wines and spirits online. As such, very occasionally, a wine may be out of stock that the website has allowed you to order.

To ensure a timely delivery, we are happy to substitute your order with a similar wine of equal or higher value and at no additional cost to you!

If this is not an acceptable solution please advise us in the 'Add A Comment' section at the checkout.
