    Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

    With wonderful texture, good volume and fruit expression this shows a very good level of ripeness. Not as racy as the 2014 but, at only 13 degrees of alcohol, it is clearly less rich than the 2015(which was 14% plus). Floral notes of peach, blossom and orchard fruits with a twist of salt. Refined, digest and very complete, stylish Condrieu that has a character and spirit. An unoaked Condrieu with usually all or partial blocking of malolactic fermentation to preserve as much freshness in the Viognier as possible.

    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.
