Paul Jaboulet-Aîné : Les Cassines 2020

Aromas of peaches, thyme, cedar, flowers and sweet spices follow through to a medium body with fresh acidity. Vertical and well-framed with a good balance of juicy and zesty citrus fruit character. Round and ample texture coating the palate and in the precise finish. Drink or hold.

A serious, savoury style of Condrieu now beginning to show its maturity, with notes of toasted hazelnut, dried apricot and banana cream lifted by a delicate waft of orange blossom and honeysuckle. While less opulent than some, it retains an appealing weight and silky texture, freshened by a subtle, mineral core and a gently spiced finish. Vegan.
