2015 Condrieu, André Perret

2015 Condrieu, André Perret

This is rich and peppery, with fresh apricots, honeysuckle and nectarines picked straight from the tree. That opulence of fruit is perfectly balanced with mouth-cleansing salinity and a lick of marzipan, but it’s the clarity of the fruit character and lifting acidity that define this charming wine.

Tasting notes

A wine that should be on everyone’s must-buy list is the 2015 Condrieu from André Perret, which comes from a mix of Perret’s holdings in the heart of the appellation. Citrus blossom, powdered rock, white cherries and rose petal notes all emerge from this killer, fresh, lively, gorgeously pure Condrieu that has everything you could ask from this grape. Medium to full-bodied, fresh and focused, buy a case or more, drink bottles over the coming 2-3 years, and count yourself lucky!
