2023 Clos de la Bonnette "Roc d'Ucarisse" Condrieu
Review Date: 10/2025
Absolutely outstanding Condrieu! I love Viognier when it's done right. It's super aromatic with freshly made apricot preserve dominating the bouquet. On the palate it's dry and mineral but also supple with peach, apricot and honey notes. Finish is long with saline acidity lingering on and on. The balance of fruit and mineral components is superb here and it's not an easy thing to achieve. Truly wonderful wine!

Condrieu is a particularly small region in the Northern Rhone that solely produces Viognier--but not just any Viognier. Simply put, these are the best in the world, and Condrieu is the benchmark by which all other Viognier is measured. Domaine Clos de la Bonnette was purchased in 1992 by wife and husband team, Isabelle Guiller and Henri Montabonnet. Henri and Isabelle restored this dormant property, restacking the walls by hand and replanting the vineyards. With no close neighbors, a natural barrier exists which allows them to more easily produce organically, a process by which they have farmed since they began replanting. The quality of the fruit is so high that Marcel Guigal wanted to purchase their grapes and put them under contract. Thankfully, they politely declined.
