The 2022 Condrieu Clos Boucher might be the closest thing to a Château Grillet out there. Beautifully pure stone fruits, crushed stone, white peach, and minty flower notes all define the aromatics, and this beauty is medium to full-bodied, concentrated, has a focused, elegant mouthfeel, and one heck of a great finish. Drink 2025-2035.

Complex nose of very ripe peaches, coconut and tropical flowers. Rich and silky with excellent concentration. It’s very finely nuanced on the medium- to full-bodied palate. Creamy on the mid-palate, then so silky in the very long finish. Matured in Burgundian oak barrels for one year, then a further six months on the lees in stainless steel. Drink or hold.

A densely packed version, with a beautiful range to its green herb and juicy apricot notes, flecked with fresh green herbs and a flicker of menthol. Totally complete, with all systems firing in unison in this complex, vibrant, full-bodied white. Cooling stone minerality courses through the long, solid finish.

Crafted from vines planted close to Ch. Grillet, the 2022 Condrieu Clos Boucher displays a ripe bouquet of almonds, apricots, jasmine, flowers and spices. Medium to full-bodied, textured and enveloping, it's sappy with a lovely oaky mid-palate, leading to a long, delicate and ethereal finish. Fresh and beautifully balanced, this vintage captures the essence of Condrieu, presenting itself as a classic in the making.

The 2022 Condrieu Clos Boucher outperforms the La Galopine from the same vintage, offering more freshness, complexity and finesse. Vinified from Viognier grapes harvested on the 22nd of August, the 2022 introduces itself with pronounced nettle, apricot, white peach and lemon flesh tones. The crisp acidity can be traced back to the purposely blocked malolactic fermentation. Concluding with saline and wet stone hints on the focused finish, the medium- to full-bodied 2022 is exquisite. - Nicolas Greinacher
