Cuilleron Les Chaillets Condrieu 2018

Brilliant straw-yellow. Penetrating aromas of fresh citrus, orchard fruits and violet are complicated by suggestions of quinine and dusty minerals. Juicy and deeply concentrated on the palate, offering intense white peach, pear nectar and orange zest flavors that show outstanding clarity and tension. The floral note repeats emphatically on the incisive finish, which lingers with superb focus and tenacity. Drinking window: 2021-2027. Score - 95.
