Vibrant, fragrant and packed with tangerine and yellow peach. It conveys plenty of flavor in a fleshy, ripe and succulent palate that tastes of mango and papaya. This is very smoothly articulated on the palate. Extremely bright, lithe and juicy. Impressive wine. Drink now.

Very light green-hued yellow. Penetrating aromas of fresh citrus and pit fruits are complicated by hints of chalky minerals, fennel and pungent flowers. Juicy and deeply concentrated but lively as well, offering sappy, mineral-laced pear nectar and Meyer lemon flavors that show superb clarity and back-end lift. The mineral and floral notes come back strong on the penetrating finish, which hangs on with outstanding focus and persistence.

The 2016 Condrieu Domaine des Grands Amandiers was fermented and aged in a combination of concrete eggs and more traditional oak. With only 10% to 15% new oak, the ripe Viognier fruit shines, offering up hints of apricot and nasturtium blossom. Medium to full-bodied, with a rich, creamy-textured palate, the wine finishes long and supple, with no trace of bitterness. Drink it within its first 5 years.
