Yves Cuilleron Condrieu La Petite Côte 2006

At a very special Christmas dinner at Becasse with my friend Prue, we innocently ordered a bottle of this Condrieu, on recommendation by our sommelier. On the bouquet were lovely aromas of peach, dried mango, apricot, fennel and minerals. On the palate it showed beautiful acidity, a light oily texture, rich but reserved fruit and long and lingering finish. Overall a delightfully balanced and intelligent Viognier, which made for quite elegant drinking. Quite superb.
