Decanter
Condrieu "Terroirs" is made from grapes grown on four parcels planted with Viognier, the grape variety emblematic of the Condrieu terroir. It's a racy, lively and generous white wine, marked by a beautiful tension on the palate, with rich aromas of apricot and orange honey. Enjoy from aperitif to dessert.

Domaine noté (guide 2020) Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
This small estate owns some very pretty parcels in Condrieu, some of which, like Poncin, are very close to Château Grillet. We were more seduced by the red Saint Josephs than by the Condrieux in 2017.
