A sensational effort that's about as heavenly as Condrieu gets, the 2011 Condrieu Coteaux du Vernon was firing on all cylinders on this occasion. Fabulously pure, full-bodied, elegant and seamless, it offers classic notes of apricot, tangerine, citrus zest and exotic flowers that continue to change in the glass. The 2009 is more concentrated, but this has incredible purity and elegance. I'd drink it over the coming 4-5 years.
