  April 2, 2021 - I've had this wine numerous times in the past, and I just love this Condrieu producer. My notes remain consistent even now, 8 years in. This viognier always has a very aromatic nose of white flowers, apricots, pears and peaches. Very elegant, a bit bigger-bodied than I recall, exuding bananas, apricots and peaches, but blended splendidly with a crisp acidity resulting in a very long, pleasant finish. There's plenty of fruit here, just enough of an acidic backbone, and minerals galore meshed wonderfully into a complex blend of damn fine viognier juice.
  Many prefer drinking their V young--and I don't necessarily disagree, but this wine continues to deliver.This is what viognier is meant to be.

  August 3, 2020 - Just love this Condrieu producer. This is what viognier is meant to be. Generous aromatic nose of white flowers, apricots, pears and peaches. Very elegant, light-medium body exuding apricots and peaches, but blended splendidly with a crisp acidity resulting in a very long, pleasant finish. There's plenty of fruit here, just enough of an acidic backbone, and minerals galore meshed wonderfully into a complex blend of damn fine viognier juice. Many prefer drinking their viognier young--and I don't necessarily disagree, but this wine is drinking great at 7 years young...
  P.S. Finished off this bottle last nite and it was almost as good as when I first opened it. Lovely wine.

  November 4, 2018 - Aged but still delicious Condrieu.
  Flowers and apricot. Nice minerals. We just drank it with a vegitarian dish including aubergine, courgette and some delicate middle eastern spices, and it combined excellent! Ogier produces some gems...

  September 16, 2016 - 92(+?) Typical viognier aromas. Delicate, floral palate. Soft apricot blossom. Ageing?
