One serious Condrieu, Michel Tardieu's 2013 Condrieu knocks it out of the park with its focused, pure, elegant, yet richly textured style. Exhibiting lots of buttered citrus, lychee, white flowers and striking minerality, it has full-bodied richness, perfect balance and a chiseled, crystalline like feel on the palate. It’s a thrilling effort to drink over the coming 2-3 years.

A fresh and enticing style, displaying white peach, plantain, green almond, pear eau-de-vie and star fruit notes, all tightly layered. Picks up a plump, lightly toasty edge, but a nice quinine accent underscores the finish, adding contrast and length. Drink now through 2017. 10 cases imported.??–JM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Condrieu Select to Add
