Tardieu Laurent : Condrieu 2023

A precise, well-shaped and flavorful Condrieu with notes of white peaches, flowers, honey and dried apricots. It’s medium-bodied, with a creamy, seductive and well-driven development on the palate. Drink now.

The classic 2023 Condrieu from this great producer is well worth checking out. Classic orange blossom, honeyed white flowers, sweet nuts, mint, and a kiss of classic Condrieu minerality all define the aromatics, and it's medium-bodied, with a beautifully balanced, layered, elegant mouthfeel, plenty of richness, and a great finish. Drink this beauty any time over the coming 4-7 years or so.

Open nose, without exuberance, a distinguished Viognier (apricot, white peaches), very refined nose, lovely volume on the palate, lily-of-the-valley flavor. Controlled richness, with a certain salinity that overrides the low acidity.
