Condrieu, Coteau de Chery, 2023

More citrus driven and lively on the nose, underpinned by concentrated rich fruits, Chery 2023 is a Condrieu that offers more structure and minerality; a wine that is a little more bound up than the more immediately complex Chanson – its class and potential is evident on the long, persistent finish. 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.
