Opened just prior to dinner. The 2008 Coteau de Vernon pours a deep straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of peach cup with the pears and cherry too. There’s white flowers, honey, fresh mint and other herbs too. Wow! On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and oily. This bottle came across young. A benchmark Condrieu. Drink now through 2038.

Steely minerality, only medium acidity but it balances nicely with the acacia, lemon, pear, white peach and wet stone flavors of this lovely wine.

Lots of floral notes and peach. Deep and lush. Very sexy and tasty.

Sadly not how it was written up to taste, oxidised, hopefully a revisit with a fresh bottle.

More notes later. Trust me. Wow wow wow wow.

It’s basically DRC Montrachet in Viognier form. Insanely elegant.

Dark yellow. Hints of oxidation. Apricot, peach, wood. Quite dry. Really interesting and quite long

Excellent. Fantastic. Pure and focused... in my opinion this is the top Condrieu with everything else coming in a far second. Such a beautifully floral nose complimented by essential oils. Orchid fruit galore
