This felt a little bit more like a standard Condrieu than the Clos de la Bonnette Légende Bonnetta. More floral on the nose, but, on the palate, a little flat with its low-ish acidity. A much oilier texture with ripe, yellow fruit. Good typicité, perhaps, but not the most exciting wine.

greenish straw colour. fresh stonefruit and green mango aromas are laced with fennel, baked apple and floral notes. silky in the mouth, the fruit is subtle on entry, its orchard flavours still in the grip of a notable acidity. there are hints of depth and moderate persistence.
well-balanced, this seems to need a wee bit more development and may be one for the long haul. there is upside to this wine.
13.5% AbV; barrel fermented and aged in oak between eight and twelve months (some likely new).

Hmmm, seemed very flabby and definitely high alcohol, without much of that delicate floral viognier silkiness
