An excellent Condrieu with a very appealing interplay of stone fruit aromas, lively acidity and a touch of creaminess on the medium- to full-body. Just a hint of toastiness. Restrained tannins at the long finish. Drink or hold.
The 2021 Condrieu Invitare showcases the appellation's typical floral aromas, with just a hint of ginger and some fresh apricot flavors. Medium-bodied, this isn't a huge, blowsy wine but a refined, elegant and somewhat understated Condrieu that drinks well now, with a long and silky finish. It's Chapoutier's view that Viognier needs some oxygen during its élevage to help resolve the variety's bitterness, so this is largely matured in demi-muids but with virtually no new oak.
The 2021 Condrieu Invitare showcases fragrant orange blossom, apricot jam, quince and pear. Medium-bodied and distinctively juicy, the 2021 captures freshness well, concluding with solid intensity on the sapid finish.
The 2021 Condrieu Invitare shows the fresher style of the vintage while still bringing plenty of classic Viognier texture and richness. Flowers, apricots, and orange-tinged aromas and flavors all emerge from the glass, and it's medium-bodied, balanced, and an outstanding Condrieu to drink over the coming 4-6 years.
