Rostaing produced a whopping (for him) 4,200 bottles of the 1999 Condrieu La Bonnette. From a vineyard situated near the finest parcels of Chateau de Rozay, planted on decomposed granite overlaying red soils, this wine reveals abundant quantities of concentrated mineral notes along with honeysuckle, floral, and peach/apricot fruit. One of the finest 1999 Condrieus I tasted (a variable year for the appellation), this medium to full-bodied effort has seen no wood aging, and is all the better for it. Drink it over the next 2-3 years. Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524
