Tasting notes
The 2000 Condrieu offers up an excellent perfume of peach and apricot jam, a fat personality, low acidity, superb ripeness, and an unctuous texture. Enjoy it during its first several years of life. Guigal produces approximately one-third of Condrieu's total production, and, not surprisingly, his offerings are generally among the top three or four of the vintage. Two-thousand was a better year for whites than reds in the northern Rhone, and that is evidenced by his two cuvees of Condrieu. Importer: Fred Ek, Ex Cellars Wine Agencies, Solvang, CA; tel.

Exotic aromas of white peach and lichee. Rich, ripe and velvety in the mouth; chewy and full but quite dry. Notes of spice and licorice. Has a layered, high-pH mouth feel. Finishes with very good length.
