| 1997 Poncins Condrieu Condrieu, Rhone, France WB Rating: 86 Alcohol by volume: 13.5% Price at time of purchase: $32.00 (Current release) Type: Viognier Principal varietal(s): Viognier Our experience with Condrieu is limited, but this wine proved more of a puzzle to us than expected. Delicate, austere, bone-dry wine with a predominantly floral (mainly lilac) nose and flavors. Cleanly nuanced with some herbal and even grassy notes in the finish. Certainly a pleasant and interesting wine, but one with a disappointingly low intensity level for a wine of this price. - HK, GK 2001-05-02 [Back] |
