Domaine Verzier, Condrieu, Authentic, 2020
From a terraced plot named Chante-Perdrix (the singing partridge), “très granitique” as Maxime said, between 200m. and 330m. on the Izeras hillside. There’s nothing like Condrieu – in no other Viognier does one see the tension between pure apricot flavours and that dry minerality. One is barely aware of the oak – there’s just a subtle creaminess. Honeyed and appealingly viscuous. Now-2024.
“Deep, rich and ripe with a focussed peach nose. Textured, creamy and yet fresh with telling acidity ensuring overall poise. Convincing finish too. Lovely! 93/100”, 2022 Decanter World Wine Awards.
