Critical Acclaim: 93 pts Wine Enthusiast.
About the Wine: Condrieu is the most northern appellation in the Rhone Valley producing white wines, the entire appellation covers 110 hectares of vineyards only. When viognier almost disappeared in the 1950’s, a passionate few winemakers kept the appellation alive long enough to see its renaissance in the 1980’s. This J.Denuzière Condrieu comes from a tiny one hectare plot called 'Le Tinal', it is a very steep terraced vineyard and it is farmed sustainably.
"The nose of this wine is subtle and earthen, taking more time to open than its ebulliently perfumed, showstopper peers in Condrieu. But with time and aeration, it reveals glimpses of apricot and orange mousse, along with a breath of white flowers. Full bodied yet freshly balanced, it highlights primary peach and yellow-cherry flavors kissed by toast and vanilla. It's ready to drink now and best enjoyed through 2026."- Wine Enthusiast.
Varietal: Viognier.
