Wine from Condrieu
Filter
Condrieu is a French wine region located in Northern Rhone. Condrieu translates to “corner of the stream”, which correlates to the location of the area along the bends in the Rhone River. Condrieu consists of approximately nine miles of the Rhone, with seven villages: Condrieu, Verin, Saint Pierre de Boeuf, Saint Michel Sur Rhone, Malleval, Limony, and Chavanay. Condrieu is entirely devoted to Viognier. Condrieu whites are full-bodied with soft aromas. Production is notoriously small due to the heavy winds from the North. This causes severe crop damage, which also makes the area exceptionally expensive to cultivate. The soil of the area is mainly granite along with chalk, flint and mica and situated on Southeast facing slopes. The terrain is steep, thus forcing the harvest to be done by hand. The location also allows for longer periods of sunlight, which produces a rich and ripe wine.

Louis Barruol describes the microclimate of the vineyard Malleval as “very cold” which allows the grapes to retain acidity and showcase the floral aromas of the local Sérine variety. Aromas and flavors of blackberries and wild strawberries are accented by notes of peppercorns, tobacco, peonies, and violets.
Syrah, with its deep flavors and firm tannins, is a natural match for grilled or smoked meat and dishes featuring herbs, roasted mushrooms, and onions. Seared venison or beef with black pepper and thyme or a Moroccan tagine of pigeon or chicken are complimented by the spicy characteristic of Syrah.
Review:
This rich and impeccably balanced Gigondas has everything we look for in the wines of this appellation. What a wide spectrum of aromas with everything from raspberry to candied orange, plus a slew of delicate spicy notes and fresh Mediterranean herbs. I love the interplay of richness, fine tannins and lively acidity on the generous, but not expansive palate. Very long, refined finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
-James Suckling 94 Points
Powerful, with steeped plum and cherry coulis merging with potpourri and charred garrigue on a ripe, lush palate. Packs a wall of iron that provides a ballast for the ripe fruit, while refined tannins build in intensity. Long and complex, with a gorgeous expression of place. Grenache, Mourve`dre, Syrah and Cinsault.
Wine Spectator 94 Points
Segries Tavel Rose is made from 50% Grenache, 30% Cinsault, 15% Clairette, 5% Syrah. The age of the vines is 30 years. Traditional vinification at low temperature, "vin de saignee" with a maceration during one night in cement vat.
This is large for a Rose...structured and focused, with the color of dark ruby. The nose is loaded up with fresh fruit. Strawberry, blackcurrant, and raspberry beam from the glass. On the palate, the mouth-feel is ripe and succulent. It has strength, but maintains its fresh and crisp expression. The finish is filled with Asian spice and slight hints of smoke. Drink this juice now or over the next year or two.
