  Medium fragrant for viognier, white and yellow flowers, wilted wet rose petals, yellow apple skin, slight jasmine, slight pine nut and subtle tropical citrus; soft, med. full bodied, but extremely elegant and caressing on the entry, sort of broad but with a certain airy aspect. Silky mouthfeel, baby fat, just the right amount of lift in the finish, stunningly good. With linguine and scallops with sundried tomatoes, pine nuts (the slight nuttiness was the perfect bridge to this wine). Wish I had more. S&L

  Gorgeous delicately floral nose of violets, field flowers, very pretty; good concentration of flavor but still on the elegant and ethereal side (esp. for Condrieu); 13.4% single v.y. of granite and limestone. Fantastic balanced wine aged partially in uned Burg barrels. 92+ At Spring w/Yves Gangloff and Francois Villard.
