Description
This is an indescribably fine, elegant Condrieu. The nose is full of peachy minerality which continues on the palate. This is incredibly pure and bright with white pepper spice and mineral precision. With this pebble-stone refreshment, it feels very different to the often rich style of Condrieu. But, my goodness, it is utterly beautiful.
Drink 2022 to 2027.

Domaine Yves Gangloff
Yves Gangloff is a hugely talented winemaker and is, with no exaggeration, a Rhône legend with rockstar credentials. Visiting his domaine is a completely different (and rather fantastic) experience when compared to most other estates. Great music plays, creating a lively but laid-back vibe, whilst Yves pours and chats. Energy and life fill the room, reflecting the vibrancy of his wines. These are consistently among the very best of the Northern Rhône. His popularity is legendary in France, which means that not very much of the already-diminutive production is available for the export market. Berry Bros. & Rudd are fortunate enough to have had a long-standing relationship with the great man – we are delighted to offer these wines, despite the tiny volumes.
