From a hot, dry year with harvest on August 26, the 2022 Condrieu Coteau De Vernon is more expressive than the 2023, with exotic honeyed orange, flowers, chalky minerality, and spice. It's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, focused mouthfeel, wonderfully integrated acidity, and a great finish. This is an elegant, seamless, oh, so impressive Condrieu. Drink 2026-2036.

Honey cream and beeswax hints introduce this round, richly styled showstopper, filled in with apple, pear, dried thyme and star anise, all backed by serious mineral density. Decadent notes of white mocha and salted buttercream make for a caressing and lush yet focused finish, with impressive depth and energy. Stunning. Drink now through 2032. 3,750 cases made, 463 cases imported.
James Suckling: 96 Points
A subtle, balanced, layered and attractive Condrieu, showcasing aromas of peach skins, white flowers, roasted almonds and some sweet spices. It's medium-bodied with a seductive stream of almonds and petals on the mid-palate. An impressive floral and bitter-almond lift on the palate, adding so much balance and vitality to the richer character of the vintage. It has a silky texture and a caressing feel, with a long, vivid and charming finish. Drink or hold.
