Condrieu, La Bonnette, 2023
justerini & brooks tasting note
Ripe and lovely with a honeyed floral, peachy feel. Produced from a single vineyard planted on sandy granitic soils, raised exclusively in tank to preserve freshness. 'Wood in Condrieu is a violence!', says René Rostaing.

93/100Nicolas Greinacher,Vinous
The 2023 Condrieu La Bonnette showcases redolent apricot, honeysuckle, banana and white peach tones. Medium-bodied with lifting freshness and spot-on balance, the 2023 is absolutely delicious. This is a magnificent Condrieu. True to Rostaing’s house style, this Condrieu sees no oak and its malolactic conversion was blocked to preserve both aromatic purity and citrus-like acidity.
