Terrific Viognier from this tiny northern Rhone appellation (right by Cote-Rotie). Chanson is one of the three or four top vineyards of Condrieu.
A Dunnuck 96:
Just bottled before the harvest, after spending 23 months in demi-muid (33% new), the single vineyard 2019 Condrieu Chanson offers a deeper, richer style in its honeyed peach, apricot, toasted bread, and spice-like aromas and flavors. Despite the longer élevage, it shows barely any oak and has remarkable freshness and one heck of a great finish. It's another sexy, seamless, fruit bomb of a Condrieu that could come from nowhere else!
