I had mixed emotions about Perret's 1997 Condrieu Vandange d'Automme. It seemed disjointed when I tasted it. Not terribly sweet, although certainly an after-dinner or aperitif-styled Condrieu, this medium to full-bodied wine exhibited fine ripeness, but its component parts seemed jumbled. Perhaps it needs more time to pull itself together. Andre Perret makes brilliant Condrieu, as evidenced by this wine.
