Tasting notes
Sporting a medium gold hue, the 2023 Condrieu offers honeyed orange, apricot tart, and exotic flowers on the nose. It's medium-bodied, has a nicely balanced, pure mouthfeel, integrated acidity, and outstanding length. It's a riper yet still balanced, exotic Condrieu to enjoy over the coming 4-5 years. Drink 2026-2031.

Aged for eight months in French oak barriques (10% new), the 2023 Condrieu unwinds with intense apricot, white peach, cedar and a touch of vanilla. Concentrated, powerful and forward, the juicy 2023 clearly states its variety and origin, closing with persistence on the nuanced finish.
100% Viognier. Aged 7–8 months in oak casks (10% new). NHB. Ripe and a little exotic, with a hint of rose petal as well as apricot and peach. Supple and round on the palate but with a tangy freshness giving lift. Persistent finish. (JL)
