Condrieu, Clos Chanson, 2023

Deeper and more concentrated than the classic cuvee, exuding a complex mix of plum, greengage and silky white fruits; rich but really pretty; it unfurls to reveal a deep spiced and dried herb note on the finish – one of the most accomplished Chansons in recent years. Aged and fermented in 20% new oak barriques for a year, from a plot of 50-year-old vines where the high clay content in the soils tends to produce full bodied wines.
