Bonnefond Condrieu Cote Chatillon 2017 (750ML)

93 VM / 93 JD / 92 WA

Pale yellow. Expansive aromas of nectarine, pear nectar, fig and pungent flowers are enlivened by a suggestion of smoky minerals building in the background. Concentrated, fleshy citrus and pit fruit flavors show surprising energy and pick up honeysuckle and fennel notes in the midpalate. The mineral and floral qualities drive the incisive, persistent finish, which shows a deft blend of power and finesse. Antonio Galloni – Vinous Media

The 2017 Condrieu Côte Chatillon sports a medium gold color as well as a classic bouquet of peach and apricot fruits, spice, and white flowers, medium body, a supple, forward, charming, beautifully textured style and a good finish. I don't think it's going to make old bones, but it's a beautiful Condrieu. Jeb Dunnuck

Loaded with fresh floral aromas, hints of ginger and ripe apricots, the 2017 Condrieu Cote Chatillon is a plump, medium to full-bodied wine with a fine, silky texture and a long finish. It's a delightful, expressive version of Condrieu to drink over the next 3-4 years. JC – The Wine Advocate
