Prefect Condrieu is hard to come by, but this sets the benchmark. Rare as heck to get your hands on. Started out subtle and a little alcohol peaking out but it grew around that with air and filled in maybe also from some warming up to room temperature. Gorgeous wine!

Really well made. Tasty, but not super exciting.

I don't always drink Viognier. But when I do, this is suffice.

Amazing butter, lemon, slight oak, good acidity. Perfectly balanced.

Classic Old World icon: restrained, floral, mineral. Higher acidity that makes this wine ageable in evidence. Unusual finish, with a kind of butterscotch sweet note at the end. Lovely.
