The 2009 Condrieu Les Chaillees de l’Enfer reveals less minerality in addition to wonderfully succulent, opulent white peach, apricot and honeysuckle characteristics and an explosive perfume of spring flowers and ripe fruit. Medium to full-bodied with good acidity for a 2009, it should continue to drink well for another 2-3 years. Vernay’s fame primarily comes from the family’s long time position as one of the leaders and reference points of the Condrieu appellation. They produce three dry cuvees.
