Condrieu Guigal 2017 (750ML)

91 Points, Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "One-third of the 2017 Condrieu sees new oak, while the rest goes into stainless steel. The wine remains very floral and fresh, with apricot and melon flavors joined by hints of white pepper and celery seed. Full-bodied, plump and succulent, it ends on a faintly bitter note that brings focus and length to the finish. Drink it young." 10/18

93 Points, James Suckling: "ttractive, fresh apricots and white nectarines. White flowers, too. Very fresh and bright. The smooth and even palate has a very rich and concentrated core of apricots. Super-ripe and super-fresh. Drink or hold." 08/18

91 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, www.jebdunnuck.com: "Leading off with the two Condrieu releases, the 2017 Condrieu offers an exotic, fresh, vibrant style that's going to gain weight with time in bottle. Terrific notes of pineapple, green citrus, and a hint of minerality all flow to a medium-bodied, balanced beauty that I'd be happy to own in quantity. For a hot, hot vintage, the estate preserved freshness and purity." 12/18
