Tardieu-Laurent Tardieu-Laurent Condrieu 2021 750ml

Fleshy and lush, with green pear, quince and lychee wrapped around a core of salty mineral. Elegant floral notes highlight the broad yet focused palate, which is offset by refreshing quinine bitterness. Drink now through 2030. 250 cases made, 25 cases imported. (James Molesworth)

Ripe apricots, white flowers, and crushed stone emerge from the 2021 Condrieu, a medium-bodied, elegant Condrieu with good acidity, plenty of fruit, and outstanding length. From a cooler, more challenging vintage, it still brings plenty of richness and is an outstanding 2021 to drink over the coming 4–6 years of so. (Jeb Dunnuck)
