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!

Floral notes and peach. More clearly viognier. Still light and precise with lovely minerality.

Balanced and precise. Great minerality and long and clear. Not too bloody and, served blind, a real doozy to spot. Really delicious

Baller Vio. This, while ridiculously expensive, does push the limits of this varietal. Anyone who enjoys the world’s finest white wines should seek this out and treat yourself!

A light, chalky nose with bright floral notes, lemon and slate. On the palate beautifully crisp with lemon oil, a hint of sweetness and gentle spice. Brilliantly balanced and singular this is an understated but real quality wine. The Raveneau of Viognier- and one to give to people who say they don’t like it.

It had the apricot, the violet
I'd say poetically it felt like an aperitif below a huge wisteria plant🤔🤫
Marvelous balance
Superlong finish
Nothing more to say, just taste it if u can
