Tasting notes
With a very ripe character, the 2022 Condrieu from Pierre Gaillard reveals a dense, spicy bouquet of honeysuckle, apricot, jasmine and flowers, followed by a medium to full-bodied, dense and powerful palate with a sappy, enrobing texture and a delicate, long finish enhanced by gastronomic bitterness. Well-crafted and stunning, this is an excellent rendition of Condrieu.

Aged for 7–8 months in fine-grained Allier and Nevers oak barriques, max 10% new, with weekly bâtonnage. Tasted blind. Very attractive nose, showing vanilla, nectarine, anise and chamomile. There is both power and elegance here, some gentle acidity gives freshness to the wine – peach, spice and white flowers. Enjoyable and has a real drinkability to it. (AC)
