  I don't drink Condrieu often, but when I do? I imagine it would be like this! The nose on this wine has a lot of tree fruit, apricot, lemon and peach. Very obtuse, waxy front on the mouthfeel. Really supple and round. Really impressed with the way this one just seems to coat every corner of the mouth. Peaches, nectarines, apricots and yellow fruit are the recurring theme here. Finishes with some dried herbal qualities and leans out really well. Went well with spicy sausage as the front actually kind of overpowered the sausage but the dried herbal qualities danced nicely with the spicy character of the sausage. This is a 2017 Condrieu, so.....it's a baby in just about every way possible. I look for the "baby fat" that frames the front to soften which will probably even be better for the awesome fruit core to shine even more over the next 15 or so years. Really enjoyed this one!

  Quite electric, more interesting than Chave.

  blind. Pours a light golden color, into a Glasvin expression, which worked very nicely. initially a bit concealed behind cold temperature, as it warmed, the wine opened to reveal layer upon layer of dripping nectarine, apricot purée, honeysuckle, and more. This was my second time to taste this bottling, and I was happy to guess 2017 Condrieu blinded. Probably should have put my neck out there on Vernay, as this is absolutely world class. If anyone knows of a better viogner on the planet, I’m all ears.
