Domaine Christophe Pichon
Condrieu Viognier
On the nose it’s Burgundy meets baking club. On the tongue it is pure luxury, the type that at first taste kinda turned me off but only because I’m not that much of an oak lover. But this wine is friggin’ fantastic. It lasts in the glass and I keep going back for more. It has the ability to be fresh and solidly traditional at the same time. One of the old souls? Don’t know if I’d go that far but I will continue to drink the insert-fave-expletive outta this.

Jun 24th, 2019Pale lemon with a hint of green. Aromas of peach, apple, pear and Christmas spice. Nectarine, Lennon and orange emerge with Lovely minerality on a Long finish

Jul 1st, 2015Well the bottle was a blanc. Well balanced and sweet honey drip off the back of the tongue. This app incorrectly identified the label as a Rose, and after tasting the white, I would love to try the rose.

Jan 14th, 2023Will it be ok? Yep. Dark golden. Nose of slight peanut butter. Honey. Yeast. Viscous. Mid palate. Not enough acid but that is only fault. For 20 yr old white. Very interesting

Jul 1st, 2017Although I like condrieu, this one I got mistaken for a Gewurtztraminner with a bitter problem. How wrong can you be??? Lots of lychees in the fruity palet and a bit of peach, floral notes. But os so much harsh bitters. low on sweet and acid, perhaps dominated by the bitters
