Brilliant pale gold. The perfume (you can only call it that) has intense notes of violets, apricot, white peach, and citrus. Fresh and round on the palate, you feel the fat, the richness, yet the wine is so intensely dry and mineral. A harmony between freshness and fleshy roundness. A remarkable minerality.

A luscious white centered by a bitter-edged mineral core, which brings focus and tension to creamy apricot, lychee and peach flavors. A ripe, full-bodied version, with dried green herbs and white tea splaying out on the persistent finish. Drink now through 2028. 7,500 cases made, 700 cases imported.

The classic 2022 Condrieu is outstanding, with quintessential aromatics of fresh apricots, honeyed flowers, and a kiss of background, classy oak. Brought up in one-third new barrels, it’s medium to full-bodied, has a balanced, elegant mouthfeel, and a vibrant sense of freshness. I love it and would drink bottles any time over the coming 4-6 years.

The 2022 Condrieu is adorable. Ripe apricot, white peach, melon, spring blossom and yellow apple give this medium- to full-bodied Condrieu tons of character. Toe to toe with the equally delicious 2020 rendition, the 2022 Condrieu combines great energy and juicy ripe fruits with soft yet refreshing acidity.
