Perfumed white peach, ripe apricot, lemon peel, cumin spice, linden blossom and shy pastry introduce the 2022 Condrieu Côteau de Vernon. Wet stone and jasmine add more aromatic intrigue. Full-bodied and expressive, the 2022 is a magnificent Côteau de Vernon, slightly richer than the 2023 tasted alongside, bringing the profile into clarity with well-set persistence on the decidedly complex finish.
This is the most aromatically restrained Condrieu in this (Yapp Brothers) line-up and seems a bit closed at the moment. Orange blossom and peel, toast, brioche and a mineral note. It's fairly oily and quite rich; could use some more time. (JRL) 2026 – 2030
