Chateau de Saint Cosme Condrieu 2019

Chateau de Saint Cosme Condrieu 2019

Saint Cosme Condrieu shows classic aromas and flavors of dried apricot, peach, and orange blossom with fennel, anise, and elderflower. Twelve months of aging on its fine lees in used Burgundian pice brings texture to the palate. This is a classic Condrieu.

Viognier aged in neutral barrels has a full body and rich texture with medium acidity. It is easily paired with dishes that feature creamy sauces, mild white fish, and roasted pork or chicken.

Critical Acclaim

95 Wine Enthusiast

Swirls of fresh white peach and melon jux- tapose toasted notes of biscotti and charred vanilla bean in this lavish Viognier. Its an opulent dry white with a satisfying heft on the palate, edged by swathes of mint and a perfumed, blossomy fin- ish. Stunning young, the wine should gain savory depth from 2030.

94 Jeb Dunnuck

Classic peach, tangerine, and honeyed flower notes emerge from the 2019 Condrieu and its smoking good on the palate, showing medium to full-bodied richness, a rounded, supple texture, and notable purity of fruit. Readers looking for a textbook Condrieu can’t go wrong with this. Enjoy bottles over the coming 4-5 years.

94 Wine Spectator

This is densely packed, with rich white apricot and nectarine flavors laced with additional Mirabelle, Verbena and Quince accents. There’s enough underlying juicy energy for balance, with a long, lingering green plum accent adding a nice lift. Drink now through 2025.
