Bottled just a few weeks prior to this tasting, the 2022 Condrieu is straight-up terrific, with classic Condrieu notes of ripe peach, orange blossom, and tangerine in its medium to full-bodied, fresh, focused, mineral-laced profile. It has everything you could want from a top Condrieu and is perfect for drinking over the coming 4-6 years or more.

The 2022 Condrieu combines lovely perfumed florals with hints of apricot, pineapple and lychee. It's medium to full-bodied, silky-textured and expansive on the palate.

Focused, poised and voluptuous white from Condrieu. Aromatic nose of baked lemons, apricots, baked peaches, warm spices and flowers. Medium-bodied with so much volume on the mid-palate. Well rounded and well driven. Precise, flavorful and delicious.
Winemaker Notes
Saint Cosme Condrieu shows classic aromas and flavors of dried apricot, peach, and orange blossom with fennel, anise, and elderflower. Twelve months of aging on its fine lees in used Burgundian pièce brings texture to the palate. This is a classic Condrieu.
