The spectacular 1997 Condrieu Coteau de Chery (made from a whopping 6.2 acre parcel of 10 and 50-year old vines) rivals Guigal's single-vineyard Condrieu La Doriane for complexity and richness. From its light green/gold color, to its exotic, leesy, mineral, peach/apricot aromatics that inundate the olfactory senses, to its full-bodied, exquisitely pure, well-delineated personality, this is an outstanding Condrieu that should drink well for several years. Andre Perret makes brilliant Condrieu, as evidenced by this wine.
