Tardieu-Laurent, Condrieu blanc 2022
DESCRIPTION
This wine is a master class in winemaking. The bouquet is juicy and fruity, with notes of pineapple, lychee, and white peach. After these elements have settled in, hints of vanilla, pear blossom and acacia flowers waft into the mix. On the palate, this Condrieu is rich, unctuous and invigorating. The perfect match for scallops, a creamy vegetable risotto, cod in a creamy, butter sauce, and a prawn curry.
REGION
Rhône
France
The Rhône Valley is a historic cradle of French winemaking, stretching from Lyon to Provence and home to over 5,000 estates. In the north, steep hillsides yield intensely expressive Syrahs (Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage) and outstanding whites like Condrieu, made from Viognier. Further south, the diversity of soils—rolled pebbles, sand, and slopes—gives rise to powerful, generous reds (Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas) based on Grenache, Mourvèdre, and Syrah. A gastronomic heartland, the region offers endless unforgettable food and wine pairings.
Recommended for you:
This Condrieu is a real success, with apricot aromas and a slightly oily texture. Very pleasant to drink.
