Château De La Gardine, Brunel de la Gardine Condrieu 2024

Retailer product description

Condrieu is one of France's great white wine originals — a tiny northern Rhône appellation planted entirely to Viognier, a grape that, in the right hands, produces something simultaneously opulent and precise. Brunel de la Gardine is the négociant label from the family behind Château de la Gardine in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, and here they're working with fruit from the steep granite terraces above the river. The 2024 is everything good Condrieu should be: peach blossom and ripe apricot on the nose, a full, round palate that never tips into heaviness, and that characteristic gingery, almost spiced freshness on the finish that separates the real thing from mere Viognier imitators.
