Vintage 2013 / Apricot confiture, buttery. Medium weight, very rich. Só sumptuous! / Paired with Gamba’s in tomatosauce with black rice

Notes of pear and pear skins on nose and palate. Rich and unctuous with hints of honey. Flavours fill every corner of the mouth. Low acid. Great match with smoked cod No point in further cellaring - delicious now. Will look to drink more Condrieu in the future - love Viognier.

I can appreciate this is a well-made wine. That said, Viognier is hot garbage.

Hikari's delight

Over ripened apricot, piecing fresh lily petal...a true Viognier. Hard to be believe they produce so much and keep the quality at this level.

2011 vintage. The biggest producer of Condrieu by maybe the best. Love the regular cuvée. Delicate not oaky. White peaches and honeysuckle.

So delicate and pretty, floral and apricot. Like the softest kiss on your cheek.

Tropical fruits dominate. Round and full mouthfeel, med acidity, pretty spicy and bitter finish which I didn't quite appreciate. 2015 vintage

Herbaceous nose reminiscent of a wild forest, with red pepper and lavender scents. Excellent.
