Disgorged in 2021. I did not know what to expect but I was very happy after the first taste. Bone dry and acidic , it shocked my taste buds.  After about 20 minutes ,like the groundhog looking for it’s shadow, some fruit made an appearance. Cherry and strawberry started to chip away at the acidity but never got the upper hand. Went very well with meatballs in mustard sauce ( vs tomato sauce) in addition to veal Milanese. — a month ago

The 2012 Condrieu Coteaux du Chery, which comes from one of the most heralded sites in the appellation, is also brilliant (as is his 2011!). The most rich and textured of the lineup, it offers thrilling notes of white peach, crushed rock, buttered grapefruit, flowers and tangerine to go with a medium to full-bodied, layered, yet brilliantly fresh and detailed texture that keeps you coming back to the glass. It too will drink nicely for 4-5 years. I had a fabulous visit with proprietor Andre Perret at his cellar located just north of Chavanay. Soft spoken, charming and generous, he runs an immaculate cellar and releases up to three Condrieus in a vintage. In addition to his whites, he fashions elegant, almost Burgundian-styled reds from Saint Joseph that warrant more attention. RP95 — a month ago
