Condrieu, La Bonnette, 2022
justerini & brooks tasting note
Tense yellow and peachy fruits with a lick of honey, the 2022 La Bonnette is lush and aromatic with a sweet citrus-tangerine like freshness. Juicy and pliant and fun to drink, it shows touches of nut and butter as it opens up. Produced from a single vineyard planted on sandy granitic soils, raised exclusively in tank to preserve freshness. 'Wood in Condrieu is a violence!', says Rene Rostaing.
critic reviews
93/100Nicolas Greinacher,Vinous
The fragrant 2022 Condrieu La Bonnette dazzles with vivid quince, apricot, ripe peach and spring blossom aromas. Viscously textured and fruit-forward, it is built around a juicy core of stone fruits and brings it home with a complex finale.
