Domaine Garon, Condrieu “Carmen” 2022
Aromas of white peach, apricots, violets and lightly toasted hazelnuts. Round, creamy and frank. The granite soil shines through in its liveliness, precision and bright acidity.
Named after mother Garon, Carmen who was born and raised in the village of Condrieu itself. Like many children she loved to wander through the streets and the beautiful vineyard paths that were still there at that time.
