Georges Vernay, Le Pied de Samson 2016

Jancis Robinson
"Polished and floral. Lots of weight on the palate. Pretty impressive. 16.5/20 points."

Vinous Reverie Notes
More complex than it appears, Pied de Samson takes its name from the giant Samson who, stooping to drink water from the Rhône, left his footprint not far from the estate. It presents the Viognier in its original form with expressions of indulgent fruits and freshness. In blind tastings it is often mistaken for a Condrieu; on the palate it is a pure moment of pleasure!
