The 2001 Condrieu La Petite Cote is a barrique-aged offering revealing succulent aromas of honeysuckle, peaches, apricots, and a hint of minerals. This medium-bodied, fruit-driven, delicious white displays an uplifting finish with good acidity. Drink it over the next 12-16 months.
Cuilleron continues to produce brilliant wines, particularly his dry whites, although his reds get better with each vintage.
