E. Guigal Condrieu (2011)

Notes

A big nose of pears and honey.  On the palate, layered flavors of apricots, fig compote, honeysuckle, and more honey that, to me, was more savory as with a chestnut honey. Fantastic freshness and minerality. Great mouthfeel. Our friend Maggie aptly described this wine as “smooth, savory, and sweet” and Win added “great depth of finish.” Malolactic fermentation, partially aged in new oak but mostly aged in stainless steel.  A benchmark for the Condrieu style at reasonable (for a Condrieu) price.

THERE’S VIOGNIER AND THEN THERE’S CONDRIEU
