Cuilleron, Condrieu, La Petite Cote

Beautiful oaked note but showing its age, no longer balanced and the beautiful aromatics have withered into something less appetizing

2016 vintage

This is rich, certainly, too rich for AD, usually a Condrieu-lover, but this goes almost overboard in terms of exotic fruit. Layered, quite complkex, quite a lot of citrus-confit, but I liked it, it's not tired at alle, very fresh, has mineral notes a well. Could do with more cellartime. #Hesselet

Pop and pour. On the nose: tangerine, chamomile and stone. Fantastic aromatics. On the palate: loads of wet stone, iodine, white pepper, citrus oil. Excellent now...needed time.

2019 vintage

Very fresh and delicious. All the fixers in terms of mango, exotic fruit, pineable citrus, drinking extemely well. Still very young. #curry

2016 vintage

The Dr. Pepper to shake up my Cola habit. Condrieu is something different - thick, waxy texture, concentrated like mercury. Yellow canned peaches in syrup, apricot jam, starfruit, honey, and the most awesome orange liquor. Condrieu or Cointreau?

2019 vintage

LKILPIO's note is spot on. Much more mineral in style for this house, and less fruit up front. Notes from Day 2 open; shows more fruit today than yesterday. On the nose: soft tangerine, stone, florals. On the palate: tangerine, stone, grapefruit oil, good acidity for condrieu, solid density, somewhat short finish.

2019 vintage

Same as prior bottle - delicious. Still enough acidity to provide good balance. Floral nose, rich flavors, nice bit of an edge on the finish. Would say still have a few years to enjoy any remaining bottles.

2016 vintage

A delicious Condrieu that is still going strong (from a cool cellar). Beautiful floral notes on the nose, while the rich flavors on the palate are supported by enough acidity to stay in balance. An example of the magic Viognier nearly exclusively attains in Condrieu - rich ripeness without excessive alcohol and harsh edges.

This Condrieu is a somewhat different from the norm of the appellation. It is clearly less fruity, intensive, oily and plush than I had expected, displaying fewer notes of tropical fruits than the Condrieus normally do. On the other hand, the wine is balanced, pleasant and supple on the palate, in spite of the low level of acidity. The wine is providing charming notes of white fruits and flowers. As a whole, this is a very nice wine.

French road trip, mainly Rhône valley; 9/4/2022-9/18/2022 : From open 75cl in a restaurant. A very plush Condrieu: quite reserved scent, high alcohol (14,5%), lowish perceived acidity, considerable fat and sweetness. The first sip is the best, before it tires the palate. 88-89P

2019 vintage

Big aromatics and big palate, but with the spice that I quite enjoy. Its all there, just hating on the short pours.

Nice note by Apple below. Agree w it all. I’ll just add that I ordered it on the list at USS Nemo in Naples, because I knew it would hold up to their signature spicy miso Chilean Sea Bass, and it did. Few dry wines will, perhaps Olivier’s pinot gris or Muscat, but a tough match. This worked beautifully, because although it is not a thick or sweet viognier, it has enough texture and acidity to pair well with heat/spice …

2019 Domaine Yves Cuilleron Condrieu La Petite Côte was perfumed and mineral-laced. The wine was bottled under a TCA-free DIAM 10 cork that has relatively low permeability to oxygen. The youthful Viognier was clear and pale lemon in colour without any sediment. Aromas of lemon zest, quince and nectarine were accompanied by honeysuckle, jasmine and white pepper. The mouthfeel was dry and rather full-bodied, with medium level of balancing acidity. There were flavours of apricot, honey, ginger and crushed rock …

Very pretty, rich and varietal, although I feel this is missing a bit of structure (i.e. acid). Peach, dried apricot, sweet vanilla-laden florals, orange marmalade undertones, and a powerful accent of peppercorn which I quite liked.

2016 vintage

Delicious wine. Intense floral notes. Medium mouth feel. Long finish. Great food wine. This still has a few more good years.

2016 vintage

Admittedly I’m not a big Condrieu guy. I typically find them low-acid and thus kind of ‘flat’, albeit with far better balance than some flabby new world whites. This has those issues: it doesn’t have the zip that I look for in my favorite whites. But this does have pure fruit and moderate complexity that make it a very nice change of pace. Very rich and floral. Enjoyable, if not great.

2016 vintage

Very aromatic, floral. Low acid. Big body. Decent QPR.

2016 vintage

Still a good wine, but definetely past its peak. Fresh pear and flowers are receding and substittuted by a slightly bitter, petrol note.

2012 vintage

Very rich, honeycomb and wax was the predominant flavor on the palate. Slight orange cream on the nose. but generally the aromatics were muted. Drank a little “hot” (alcoholic), but overall very nice. Less bright than when it was young (drank at vineyard in fall 2017).

2016 vintage

From 375 - from the wine list at The Lawrence in Atlanta, GA. White floral nose. On the palate waxy full texture, honeycomb and orchard fruit with minerals on the finish. Quite tasty.

2016 vintage

Good clean steely Condrieu

2016 vintage

starting to lose freshness. drink up

2016 vintage

Les Gobeloteurs Wine Garden Party (Domaine Stéphane Ogier - Ampuis) : Brief note from memory, tasted earlier today. Intensely floral with peach and candied orange peel and honeycomb. Good energy throughout, but best to enjoy young while fruit remains this fresh and vibrant.

2016 vintage

Flinty apple and citrus aromas. Dry and musky on the palate with lots of set stone over apple and white peach flavors. Somewhat austere. Good in a lean, food-friendly way.

2016 vintage

Served blind Pale gold Light honeysuckle aromas and flavors, with a hint of golden apple and camomille Light acidity, bordering on a bit flabby, but with a nice big mouthfeel And the alcohol starts to peek through just a bit But otherwise this is a tasty Condrieu for near term enjoyment.

2016 vintage

Pretty airy and expressive nose of golden apple, honey, and flowers. Round but not heavy on the palate. Very pretty with balance and plenty of floral uplift. Pleasure to drink.

2016 vintage

Aiolos Tasting (Intercontinental Hotel) : The wine shows floral notes, nice ripe white fruit, easy on the palate, ripe peach, medium body, balanced, nice refreshing acidity, medium finish. A rather gastronomic wine

2016 vintage

Medium straw. Ripe stone fruit, jasmine, honey and green apple nuances. Medium bodied with balancing acidity, fresh and lively. Ripe peach and apricot, some exotic nuances turning to spice like ginger as you move along. Longish finish. Very fine and balanced. 92

2016 vintage

Quick trade tasting note - Clove honey, incense, spices, pearls, flower with a nice textured palate and a touch of alc on the finish.

2016 vintage

Classic and inviting viognier nose. Despite other notes this wine did not show signs of distress due to age. Heavy body. Pleasing as appero

2012 vintage

I think this wine is enjoyable but definitely past it's prime The nose is rich with fruits (peach) and homely and almonds, even some flowery character The disappointment starts in the mouth where it's flabby and lacks any sense of energy and tension

2012 vintage

Developed but less than expected. Pleasant nose of melon, pear, apricots with a light touch of flowers Lacked freshness and a great aftertaste

2012 vintage

Medium golden. Nose is grapefruit, lanolin, beeswax, and almond. Palate much the same. Lacking acid and spine. Nice mouthfeel. This took about an hour to open up. Thinking other bottles may need some more time in the cellar.

2012 vintage

startinoz has it well. i do like this wine ( which I had over 3 years). Lovely balance of flower, mineral and that unusual savoury finish referred to below. Now selling at £40. Probably a bit toppy

2012 vintage

Medium bodied, average finish and balance, needs about an hour to open up, plenty of life left.

2012 vintage

Tasted blind. Very flowery, blooming springtime trees, I worry this might set off my allergies. Restrained, fresh and stony with a touch of floral bitterness on the finish. Big bodied, lowish acid, not waxy or stony enough for Marsanne/Rousanne. I'm pretty sure this is Condrieu.

2012 vintage

Vibrant yellow color. Very shy nose of cotton, Anjou pear, and jasmine. Luscious, round, silky mouthfeel; sensuous. Floral palate. Jasmine. Balanced, but lacking in some intensity.

2012 vintage
