Les Chaillets is a Condrieu that shows both impressive intensity and admirable focus, restraint and balance. The first impression is of honey and juicy pear, followed by nectarine and lemon zest. Full, rich and unctuous on the palate, it has a sprinkling of spicy new oak, as well as crystalline purity. It is gorgeous from release, and gains layers of richness over the following 2-3 years.
