One of the most singular majestic Condrieu wines I have ever tasted is the 2015 Condrieu Coteau de Vernon. I wish I could pour a taste for every reader. White Peach, White Flowers, hints of citrus oil and subtle minerality all flow to a thrilling pure, elegant, yet powerful wine that could only come from this terroir. Long and silky with nothing out of place, it’s as good as Condrieu gets
(25 percent new oak) Limpid gold. Penetrating aromas of ripe citrus and pit fruits, violet and honey are joined by suggestions of chalky minerals and ginger. Juicy and deeply concentrated on the palate, offering expansive pear nectar, Meyer lemon and floral flavors that show superb clarity and mineral drive. There's a wonderful blend of richness and energy here, and I can find no rough edges. The mineral and floral notes carry strongly through the strikingly long, incisive, seamless finish, which hangs on with outstanding focus and tenacity.
