Perret's brilliant Condrieu Coteau Chery is among the finest Condrieu produced. The 1999 is one of the candidates for Condrieu of the vintage, integrating its acidity and alcohol with fabulous lychee nut, apricot, orange marmalade, and honeyed pear characteristics, massive body, and unbelievable elegance and purity for a wine of such intensity. However, do not expect it to age well; it requires consumption over the next 2-3 years.
