Pale gold. Pungently aromatic scents of dried pear, citrus zest, chamomile and violet, with a hint of anise in the background. Concentrated and lively on the palate, with tactile pear skin and Meyer lemon flavors given added power by deeper nectarine and honey qualities. Sharply delineated on the close, leaving chalky mineral and pit fruit nectar notes behind.

A textbook Condrieu, with alluring creamed peach, apricot and ginger notes backed by almond cream and anise details on the finish. The lightly toasted finish lingers. Drink now. 9,000 cases made.
