A wine that was reviewed last year, the 2012 Condrieu Les Terrasses de l’Empire is still beautiful, with ripe white peach, stone fruits and white-flower aromas and flavors, medium-bodied richness and lively, pure and integrated acidity. It’s a beautiful Condrieu to drink over the coming year or two.

A fresh style, with yellow apple and melon rind notes framing a core of apricot and creamed peach. Hints of bitter almond and orange line the finish, lending good definition. Drink now through 2016. 25 cases imported.??–JM??Region: France / Northern Rh?ne / Condrieu Select to Add
