    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
    René Rostaing, Condrieu, La Bonnette, 2011

    A Condrieu of exuberance and class. Mineral character mixed with ripe peaches and citrus peel notes. Generous but properly structured, a fine balance not too heavy; very good indeed. Fermented and aged in steel tank with malolactic fermentation blocked, this is therefore a very vibrant, juicy style of Condrieu.

    Josh Raynolds, Vinous
    (raised in stainless steel tanks and made with no malo) Limpid straw-yellow. Assertive, mineral-accented orchard fruit, melon and fennel aromas are sharpened by hints of ginger and lemon zest. Intense pear skin, Meyer lemon and violet pastille flavors show a suave blend of richness and delicacy thanks to a spine of juicy acidity. Closes minerally, taut and impressively long, leaving a powerful floral note behind.
