The vines lie just to the north-west of Condrieu, planted on gentle grantic slopes. 30% is aged in used barriques, the balance in cuve. The resulting wine has an unmistakable honied nose that melds with the oak as a hand fits in a glove. The glossy texture of the fruit could distract you from the wine’s surprising mineral charge. At 13% alcohol, it passes for moderate in today’s world. Exceptional class for the modest tariff.
