Condrieu « Florialys » – Domaine Christophe Semaska

The Condrieu Florialys Semaska is a mineral, floral Viognier fermented and aged in new barrels: a great white from the northern Rhône valley.

The Christophe Semaska estate

Domaine Christophe Semaska settled at Château de Montlys, in Saint-Cyr-sur-Rhône, on a hillside facing the Rhône. Its story began in 1988 with the replanting of part of the vineyard and a first Côte-Rôtie cuvée. The estate now has 15 hectares of vines; since the arrival in 2019 of Clément, the second generation, it has started converting to organic farming.

The wine: Condrieu Florialys Semaska

Florialys is a 2024 Condrieu made from Viognier, on a thin, decomposed granite soil. The slopes are terraced, facing due south and south-east, and the vines are 30 years old. Yields are 25 hl/ha, with hand harvesting. Vinification and ageing take place in new barrels, on the lees for 12 months, with lees stirring under temperature control at 16°C; malolactic fermentation is carried out on 75% of the wine to preserve the freshness of the aromas.

Tasting notes

It is a wine of great minerality, with aromas of rose, apricot kernel and acacia blossom.
