Even though the wine is from the Northern Rhône, I tasted this during my time in the south, so I opted to include it here. The 2014 Condrieu is a beautiful wine that has an upfront, voluptuous and layered personality to go with lots of melon, orange rind and apricot aromas and flavors. Aged ten months on less, in 40% new French oak, it has terrific purity and no shortage of richness or texture.

Deep jasmine colour. Peachy broad nose. Rich and seductive with a certain savoury overlay over the broad blossomy fruit. Serious wine. Already very rewarding. Clean, neat finish – nothing hot. If these vines are 45 years old they must be some of the oldest in the appellation! Exciting wine but not especially showy.

Lovely fig, anise and pear aromas and flavors burst forth, showing a creamy feel overall. Offers a lively fennel and mirabelle plum spine for balance in the end.

Light, green-tinged gold. Lively, sharply focused aromas of nectarine, orange and pungent white flowers. A firm spine of minerality elegantly supports vibrant citrus and pit fruit flavors. Shows plenty of power, but the main impression here is of elegance and finesse. A chalky mineral note builds steadily on a nervy, sharply focused and impressively persistent finish, which leaves a zesty citrus fruit note behind.
