Condrieu, Les Vieilles Vignes de Jacques Vernay, Ogier

Note:

The star of the show and up with the creme de la creme, the 2012 Condrieu Les Vieilles Vignes de Jacques Vernay gives up more lychee, caramelized peach, liquid stone and honey water to go with a full-bodied, concentrated and gorgeously textured feel in the mouth. Coming from a plot of vines planted in 1948 and aged in both barrel and foudre, it is a spectacular Condrieu to drink over the coming 4-5 years. JD
