Condrieu

Full

Cork

White

Heady banana and mango. Very rich, sweet fruit. Tastes like Juicy Fruit. Spicy oak on the palate. Plenty of ripe fruit and good depth, but high alcohol and not terribly elegant. Has an inner salinity that helps bring structure. Very long. Alcohol is a little high. East-facing vineyard that buts up against Château-Grillet. Spends a year in barriques and 500l demi-muids, from new to three-year-old oak.
