Translucent yellow. Seductively perfumed aromas of passion fruit pear nectar white peach and orange zest along with suggestions of jasmine and tarragon. At once concentrated and lively offering vibrant mineral-laced orchard and pit fruit flavors that are complicated by a suave steadily building floral nuance. Finishes with a strong jolt of minerality repeating florality and noteworthy persistence. This wine's blend of power and finesse is quite something. (Drink between 2022-2030)

Another terrific Condrieu from one of the appellation's acknowledged masters the 2018 Condrieu Chery offers up floral scents alongside hints of crushed stone a dusting of dried spices and ripe apricot and melon notes. It's full-bodied and fleshy on the palate yet only weighs in at 14% alcohol. Long refreshing and harmonious from start to finish it's just a pleasure to drink ending on gentle lingering notes of stone dust.

Not yet bottled the 2018 Condrieu Coteau Du Chery boasts a mammoth bouquet of white currants tangerines crushed citrus and toasted brioche. It’s a rich full-bodied powerful Condrieu that somehow stays flawlessly balanced and light on its feet. One of the insider-only producers in Condrieu is Andre Perret who has a tiny cellar just south of the village of Condrieu. His whites are consistently at the top of the heap in the Northern Rhône and his reds rarely get the credit and recognition they deserve. You can’t go wrong with any of these wines and if you have tried a wine from Perret get out there and find a bottle!
