Condrieu Les Terrasses du Palat 2022 - François Villard
Directly from the wine estate
94 /100 James Suckling
Tasting: 'A broad, silky and precise Condrieu, full of layers and nuances. The nose reveals notes of ripe lemons, peaches, flowers and raw almonds. It is quite full-bodied with a lively center on the palate. Delicate texture, but it shows intensity and character. It has energy and dynamism, with a very fresh and lively core of lemons and blanched almonds. It's focused and alive. Vibrant finish with length. Drink or keep.'
