2014. Tangerine peel, floral citrus notes, honey and melon in spades. Very powerful, one of the pioneers of Condrieu. This is just a stones throw from the 300 mts. elevation vineyards of Condrieu.

This gives me everything I love about Viognier, florals, fresh and juicy white and yellow fruits, all cool, none exotic, with a gentle spine of acidity. Maybe the best bang for your buck outside Condrieu (and better than some) with its racy and vivid personality.

Bright tropical fruit tones with dense floral notes, mineral undertones. Great palate entrance, with oodles of tropical fruit tones with gobs of white flowers. Smashing

A perfect spine of acidity accentuates the elegant white flowers, think hone suckle, white peach and minerality.
