André Perret - Condrieu Chery 2021
IN STOCK
$125.00
Condrieu Chery is a single-vineyard bottling, from the Coteau de Chéry, which is one of the appellation’s most prized vineyards. Yield of 35 hL/ha. One third fermented in stainless steel, two thirds in barrique (25% new). Aged for one year on fine lees in barrique, then another three months in stainless steel before bottling.
"Perfumed and pure, this has the classic generosity of Condrieu fruit, but it's neat and defined. Spherical on the palate, with well-balanced acidity and no excess oak, well judged. A little peppery, spicy nip on the finish. Good sense of energy and freshness. Perfect balance. 20% new oak." - 97 points, Decanter
"Last of the 2021s, the 2021 Condrieu Chery is cut from the same cloth as the other 2021s and has a pure, fresh, impeccably balanced profile. It offers a touch more minerality than the Chanson, as well as a more chiseled focused mouthfeel. All three of these Condrieu are impressive wines that will shine right out of the gate yet evolve gracefully" - 92-94 points, Jeb Dunnuck
