Condrieu, Les Vieilles Vignes de Jacques Vernay, Ogier

Note:

The brilliant 2011 Condrieu Les Vieilles Vignes de Jacques Vernay comes from a parcel of vines planted in 1948. It is a profound, barrel and foudre-aged, exceptionally rich, honeyed Condrieu revealing notes of orange marmalade, tangerine oil, white peach, honeysuckle, mango and exotic Asian fruits. This stunning, full-bodied, deep 2011 is an amazing effort to enjoy over the next 4-5 years. RP
