Condrieu Vernillon 2020 (75 CL)

A blend of fruit from Cote Chatillon and Vernon, the Jamets' 2020 Condrieu Vernillon is fermented and aged in 500-liter oak. Featuring pronounced floral notes, melon and pear fruit and a hint of white gumdrop, it's medium to full-bodied but more about freshness than fat, with a reasonably crisp, vibrant finish. It should drink well for several years. (JZ, 1/2024)
