Typical aromas of Viognier and a palate with ripe, dry, tangy, and nutty flavors that evolve throughout the experience, leaving a lingering perfume that tempts you to experiment with food pairings.
2019 Condrieu is more generous and indulgent, with fleshy yellow fruits like fresh apricot and peach, and a dominating structure and silky core.
95 points Wine Advocate: From 3.5 hectares in Chavanay that were picked September 2 to 4, right at the beginning of harvest, Lionel Faury knocked his 2019 Condrieu out of the ballpark. Fermented in a 60-40 combination of stainless steel and demi-muids (including some acacia wood), the wonderfully aromatic nose combines essences of spring flowers and ripe apricots, while the full-bodied palate is round and fleshy yet remains long, fresh and vibrant on the finish, with no trace of bitterness. Kudos!

Juicy and well-detailed, with verbena and quinine notes tucked in amid showy Cavaillon melon, white nectarine and white peach flavors. Despite all the opulence, there's also a freshness and underlying mineral edge, giving this cut and direction through the finish. Drink now through 2027. 200 cases imported.

Green-tinged straw. Powerful, mineral-accented scents of fresh pear, peach and violet are brightened by a building citrus pith nuance. Silky and tightly focused on entry, then deeper on the midpalate, offering concentrated orchard, pit fruit, Meyer lemon flavors and a hint of honeysuckle. Closes with repeating florality and firm, impressive, mineral persistence and cut.
