Condrieu, Coteau de Chery, 2022

One of the great wines of Condrieu, Perret’s Chery 2022 is sparkling and animated in profile, as lemon, mirabelle and violet intermingle with touches of fine earth and delicate, wispy stones and smoke on the first pour. Incredibly pure and finessed on the palate, the 2022 is simultaneously mineral, floral, ripe and finessed. Stunning. The Chery vineyard boasts very pure, soft sandy granite soils that enable the roots to go deep, resulting in wines of strong mineral character. The vines are between 40 and 80 years old. It is one of the great vineyards of Condrieu. Aged in barriques for a year, of which only 10% are new.
