Tasting notes
A deeper gold color, the 2006 Condrieu les Chailles de L'Enfer offers a honeyed, mineral style, with ripe notes of caramelized apricots, toasted bread, spice-cabinet and powdered rocks. Full-bodied, rich and layered on the palate, with juicy acidity, it's fully mature and time to drink up, but offers plenty to love. It would pair perfectly with a heartier dish, or even a fruit tart dessert.

Bright gold. Hugely aromatic, pungent bouquet of fresh peach, nectarine, floral honey and violet. Deeper poached pear and honeydew flavors maintain very good verve, and finish with excellent lift and lingering sweetness. You could wear this as perfume.
