Saint Cosme Condrieu 2018

“A bold style, with quince, lemon curd, creamed pear, apricot and white peach flavors lending range andweight. Verbena and warm brioche details infuse the lush finish. Very showy and pulls it off.” 95/100 (Wine Spectator)

“Hints of sweet spice and smoke seep into sunny apricot and honeysuckle in this lavishly rounded Viognier. It’s a classically fleshy, weighty wine with a delightfully clingy finish, but cutting mineral tones and crisp tangerine acidity lend lift and vitality, too. Excellent in youth but concentrated enough to mature well through 2040” 95/100 (Wine Enthousiast)

“Tasted out of bottle, the 2017 Condrieu offers lots of honeyed pineapple, white flowers, and a hint oftangerine in a more medium-bodied, fresh, vibrant style. This was a hot, sunny vintage, yet this showsnotable purity.” 93/100 (Jeb Dunnuck)

Louis’ Condrieu from granite terroirs is a fabulously beautiful, pure white wine! Viognier in the terroir where this grape produces its most magnificent wines. Aged for eight months in used barrels. this gives a wonderfully full-bodied wine with a blissfully complex bouquet of fennel, liquorice, elder, rose, anise,… A very big wine best drunk from now until 5 to 6 years after harvest.
