{"product_id":"xavier-gerard-condrieu-larbuel-2023","title":"Xavier Gerard Condrieu 'L'Arbuel' 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eGérard’s precise, mineral-driven “L’Arbuel” combines tiny holdings in two vineyards: a 0.18-hectare sliver in high-altitude Corbery, a cool, west-facing site with soils of granite and muscovite; and a 0.32 parcel in Marmouzin, slightly downslope, planted also in granite and muscovite. To achieve maximum equilibrium in his Condrieu, Xavier harvests his Viognier in two passes about ten days apart; the first pass gives acidity, and the second gives fruit. He also employs a portion of the wine from the final pressing, which contributes mid-palate richness and a touch of structure-providing bitterness. Aged for 18 months primarily in older barrels with a portion in steel, the resulting wine is nimble and fresh, balancing its Viognier-typical notes of peaches and cream with a sense of nervy poise.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Xavier Gerard","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":47139354083526,"sku":"GECA231","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0314\/0039\/4884\/files\/custom_resized_831a0510-b730-4167-929a-f2a3df51b84f.jpg?v=1714506179","url":"https:\/\/rwmselections.com\/products\/xavier-gerard-condrieu-larbuel-2023","provider":"RWM Selections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
