A nicely made, straightforward white, the 2012 Condrieu spent 10 months in 100% new French oak. Offering up ample toasty, spicy qualities, with solid white currant, tangerine and white peach-like fruit, this medium-bodied, lively and fresh white should be enjoyed over the coming couple of years. Domaine de Bonserine, which was purchased by the Guigal family in 2006, covers a whopping 25 acres in Cote Rotie (second largest estate in Cote Rotie), mostly in the northern portion of the appellation in the lieux-dits of Champin, Fongeant, La Vialliere, Les Moutonnes and Cote Brune (among others). In addition, they have just under 3 acres in Condrieu. The normally produce three Cote Roties in a given vintage; the larger production La Sarrasine, the single vineyard La Vialliere, of which there are roughly 400 cases made, and the old vine La Garde, which is never more than 300 cases.
