2020 Condrieu
André PerretCondrieu is often overshadowed by the great red-wine AOCs of the northern Rhône, but year in and year out, André Perret crafts some of the great white wines of France. Made from Viognier planted along the Rhône’s dramatically steep hillsides, this blanc offers mesmerizing texture, density, and vibrant flavors of stone fruit, jasmine, tropical fruit, orange zest, and so much more. Pair it with roast chicken or your favorite grilled white fish for a transcendent experience.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:
1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
