The wine is spectacular. I can't even imagine what Coteaux du Vernon would taste like. Restrained, balanced. Mango and lychee sticks out. Had this with lobster tail and scallops. Perfect pairing.

2011 vintage. A marked step down from Coteau de Vernon.

Pale yellow, aromatic of white peach, nectarine, honey; elegant Condrieu w mineral notes, real complexity, precision and focus. Great w roast pork, grilled fish or poultry in sauce. Serve cellar temp, slightly warmer.

More muted and a tinge sweeter tonight? Not as magical as prior bottles. Perhaps the pre- dinner cocktails tainted our palates?

Second bottle in one week. Amazing. White peach, acidity and minerality/spices all perfectly balanced.

Amazing. White peach on the nose. Full on the palate. Minerals and clean acidic long finish. Great.
