Not surprisingly (given this high quality vintage in Condrieu), the three 2010 Condrieus are all spectacular. Even more minerality and floral notes can be found in the 2010 Condrieu Chery. Sumptuous and rich, with abundant aromas of wet rocks, honeysuckle, lychee nuts, peaches, apricots and tangerine oil, this is a sensational Condrieu. I had it twice at Parisian restaurants after I had officially tasted it the week before, and it is unquestionably a stunning white wine.
Perret has long been one of the northern Rhone's finest producers of white wines, and over the last decade he has also raised the quality of his red wines as evidenced by these two vintages of St.-Joseph. Unfortunately, this is not a large domaine, and the Perret wines can be difficult to find.
