Domaine Stéphane Ogier : La Combe de Malleval 2023

Using roughly 40% new oak during its élevage, the 2023 Condrieu La Combe de Malleval starts with delicate white peach, apricot, vanilla and chamomile notes. Accentuating freshness in an earlier harvest Condrieu style, the 2023 clocks out with refinement on the uplifting finish. There's nothing overripe or tropical going on here.

The 2023 Condrieu La Combe De Malleval is a gorgeous expression of Condrieu, offering perfectly ripe peach, honeysuckle, white flowers, and crushed stone, with hints of spice. Medium to full-bodied and pure on the palate, with beautiful freshness and fine tannins, this is an incredibly elegant, layered effort to drink over the coming 7-8 years. Drink 2025-2033.
