2014. Tangerine peel, floral citrus notes, honey and melon in spades. Very powerful, one of the pioneers of Condrieu. This is just a stones throw from the 300 mts. elevation vineyards of Condrieu.

This gives me everything I love about Viognier, florals, fresh and juicy white and yellow fruits, all cool, none exotic, with a gentle spine of acidity. Maybe the best bang for your buck outside Condrieu (and better than some) with its racy and vivid personality.

Lovely wine. Wish I had another bottle. Stone fruits and a hint of honey on the palate. Very balanced and pleading finish. #condrieu

Great Viognier. Had it with a salmon burger off the grill with sliced muenster and spinach O.M.G. This wine over delivers for the price.

Excellent Stone fruit up front and wet gravel, followed by dry leaves, even tobacco later on!!!

Either not sweet enough or not enough acid depending on what you want it for.

Nice. Not a Condrieu. But not bad.
