2017 Condrieu “Clos Chanson”

André Perret
Discount Eligible $95.00
SOLD OUT

André Perret farms some of the top sites in the Condrieu appellation—terroirs that bring out the absolute best in the Viognier grape. The Clos Chanson represents one of two single-vineyard bottlings he produces, from a steep, terraced parcel of rocky decomposing granite. This rich, opulent nectar will pamper your palate, coating it with fine, exotic flavors of candied citrus, lychee, and apricot. Few dry whites are as luxurious and satisfying.

Anthony Lynch

Where the newsletter started

Every three or four months I would send my clients a cheaply made list of my inventory, but it began to dawn on me that business did not pick up afterwards. It occurred to me that my clientele might not know what Château Grillet is, either. One month in 1974 I had an especially esoteric collection of wines arriving, so I decided to put a short explanation about each wine into my price list, to try and let my clients know what to expect when they uncorked a bottle. The day after I mailed that brochure, people showed up at the shop, and that is how these little propaganda pieces for fine wine were born.—Kermit Lynch
