Vincent & Alexandre Cluzel 2019 Condrieu

The northern Rhône is the motherland of Viognier and Condrieu is where it has its most complex and intense expression. Perfectly balanced. This is Viognier in its full glory!  

"Full-bodied, but not gloopy, acidity is well balanced. Good freshness, intensity and vibrancy on the palate in fact. Nicely balanced - a very classic style. Chavanay." Decanter 92 Points
