Bonnefond Condrieu 19

Condrieu is a tiny appellation — just over half a square mile of vines. But it produces one of the world’s great white wines, as complex aromatically as it is elegant and mouthfilling on the palate. Bonnefond’s is a masterpiece, achieving soaring balance between minerals, fruit, freshness, aromas and texture.

Josh Raynolds of Vinous was just as enthusiastic. Awarding 95 points, he found it “vibrant,” and “shimmering,” with notes of “fresh nectarine pear, orange and pungent flowers.” He continued, “the mineral note repeats emphatically on a strikingly long, focused finish.”
