2019 Vidal-Fleury Condrieu
15.0
94 Points from Wine Spectator: "An opulent version that’s showing beautifully now, as a bit of bottle age has nicely concentrated the flavors of jasmine, baked apple, ground ginger and pear. Reveals a salted caramel note, which adds a layer of richness that’s expertly counterweighted by bitter quinine, savory herb, crushed flint and smoke elements. Drink now through 2026. 500 cases made, 196 cases imported." (3/31/24)
90 Points from Decanter: "An exuberantly fruity apricot and peach style. Medium-bodied, with quite intense acidity that doesn't entirely sit comfortably in the wine. Good length, with a noticeably oaky finish. Loud and proud, with a good sense of typicity." (5/14/21)
90 Points from Jeb Dunnuck: "A richer, broader, more expansive white, the 2019 Condrieu gives up lots of honeyed flower and ripe tropical fruit in a medium to full-bodied, supple, charming style geared for near-term drinking." (2/16/22)
