Reveals ripe kumquat, green plum and pear puree notes that have a glycerol texture on a finely tuned palate, with heather and dried thyme accents. The density builds in this juicy yet restrained white, with finely crushed minerals driving tension throughout a finish that goes on and on. Delicious. Drink now through 2027. 10,000 cases made, 400 cases imported.

There’s not much to go around (Guigal lost 50% of their production due to frost in Condrieu), but the 2021 Condrieu is a beautiful wine offering lots of variety in its white peach, tart apricot, truffly earth, and floral aromas and flavors. Balanced, medium-bodied, and elegant, in short, it’s a textbook and outstanding Condrieu. It should keep for 4-6 years, but there’s no need to delay gratification.

With a fresh and floral profile, this wine offers clean aromas of citrus and a captivating bouquet of white rose, chamomile, lilac and violet. Balanced with firm minerality, it presents a textured palate featuring white tea leaf, ripe white peaches, white peppercorn and a long stony finish. Enjoy now.

Showing less ripeness compared to the surrounding two vintages, the 2021 Condrieu still has plenty to offer. Offering vivid citrus and stone fruits alongside a tropical melon splash and blossom notes, it hits the palate with solid flavor concentration and lovely intensity. Round and elegant, it concludes with a bright finish.
