2020 Condrieu
André Perret
Condrieu is often overshadowed by the great red-wine AOCs of the northern Rhône, but year in and year out, André Perret crafts some of the great white wines of France. Made from Viognier planted along the Rhône’s dramatically steep hillsides, this blanc offers mesmerizing texture, density, and vibrant flavors of stone fruit, jasmine, tropical fruit, orange zest, and so much more. Pair it with roast chicken or your favorite grilled white fish for a transcendent experience.

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
