Tasting notes
Pale yellow. Vibrant, mineral-accented pear, Meyer lemon and floral aromas are complemented by deeper peach and honey nuances. Energetic orange and orchard fruit flavors show good depth and focus and pick up a spicy nuance with aeration. Finishes juicy and long, showing firm bite and a touch of honeysuckle.

Honeyed stone fruits, acacia flowers, and spice notes all emerge from the 2017 Condrieu Les Terroirs and it's an exotic, medium-bodied, balanced Condrieu that has plenty to love. Drink it over the coming 2-3 years.
Cask sample. Tasted blind. Plump, plush and polished. Jammy apricot fruit with a touch of salinity giving savoury contrast. Succulent, full and rewarding, with lovely rich balance. (RH)
