Liquid sunshine! Easily one of the best whites of the year so far is this Condrieu from Yves Cuilleron. A drop-dead gorgeous wine that soaks the palate with a multitude of tropical fruits and a cotton wool texture, whilst keeping the drama alive with good acidity. The finish is impressively long and ends on a distinctly dry, slightly bitter note that only adds to the overall complexity. Incredibly enjoyable and - whisper it - a bloody good accompaniment to takeaway tandoori chicken.

Amazing wine and not even close to other Viognier ive had. Ripe peaches, vanilla, golden apples, oily, floral....just enough acid to bind it all....superb...

Candied apricot aroma leaps from the glass. Stone fruit and golden delicious apples with some mineral character on the palate. Very rich texture with just barely enough acid to keep it from being over wrought.

Peaches, crushed stones, touch of licorice.

Full bodied with loads of ripe peaches and apricots, classic Viognier nose, very floral. Oily texture, low acidity. Very balance and not flabby at all. Touch of residue sugar. I like this a lot!

This was an amazing bottle. Very smooth. Hints of stone fruits, grass, honey and even slight taste of cotton candy. Very enjoyable.
