Jean-Luc Colombo Amour de Dieu Condrieu 2016

Condrieu, Northern Rhone, Rhone Valley, FranceWaxy and pure, with grilled almonds, delicate white blossoms, light lemon curd, perfumed melon, orange blossom, honeysuckle and ample ginger spicing along a silken, elegant palate. Condrieu is the epitome of viognier and wines like this show why. Fermentation and vinification in oak, and time on lees in barrel build power and richness. At the same time, the Northern Rhone's climate, altitude and soils lend freshness and a welcome sort of severity. Restrained power and a long life ahead.Tasted: 26 May 2019Tasted by: Prices:
