Chapoutier continues to fashion fine Condrieus. The 2000 Condrieu (a good vintage for this appellation) reveals outstanding ripeness and richness as well as a textured, layered mouthfeel. It possesses Viognier's classic Condrieu characteristics of minerality intermixed with apricot and peach jam. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel.

Lovely fruit-driven Condrieu. Medium-bodied and not overly complex, it has some wet earth, mineral and sea shell notes, mixing with floral and peach character. Shows personality on the lingering finish. Drink now through 2005. 1,210 cases made.??–PM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Condrieu Select to Add
