White flower blossom, peach, honeysuckle, and juicy mango on the nose with warm honeysuckle, white peach, and jasmine on the pallet definitely the most complex Sauvignon blanc iv had and really shows off for the varietal and shows me there’s more there than just crisp and clean citrus lovely wine here — 3 months ago

[Tasted on September 29, 2023 at Nashville Wine Auction Harvest Party with Ned and Beth]

Purchased wine during September 2022 visit to the winery. Fruit is sourced from Ritchie Vineyard in Russian River Valley. Citrus, apple, chamomile and nutmeg on the nose. Melon, stone fruit, chalky minerality and saline notes on the palate. Creamy and rich mouthfeel with a beautiful finish. — 8 months ago

More delicate texture than I expected. Green apple, honeycomb, and lemon. Good oak adding some vanilla aroma. — 2 years ago

Ovenbird w M and Ritchie. Mineral. Textured. Fresh. Paired well w ankimo.

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 year ago
