The Beaurivage Hotel in Condrieu used to pair with Quenelles de Brochet. It was a perfect match
Condrieu, to age or drink young?

Reviving this as I was inspired to try the Gangloff 2011 on the list at Taillevent this evening off the back of this thread. Wow!
Orange blossom, almond, preserved lemon, with an expansive but not overblown mid-palate and long and enjoyable finish.

It doesn’t get much better than Gangloff, Sarah-Beth.

Specific ask, Cuilleron Chaillets worth holding or a good youthful gargle? Got a bottle of 2022 in a mystery case, and indeed it's a mystery to me!

Who knows the answer to the overall question. Condrieu is such a Doppleganger....I rather like aged Viognier even though it oxidises quite markedly. The main problem its its not predictable and 1 bottle can be interesting whilst another from the same case shot to pieces.....

Probably helps to have a cooler vintage like 2011, which dials everything down a little. Gangloff makes a lovely example in a rounder style. A perfect foil for a rich fish or lobster dish.

I really enjoyed a glass of young Condrieu, Perret I think, quite rich but also very fresh, with this elaborate salad at lunch yesterday, plenty of floral - jasmine - exchange going on and that strong summer stone fruit overlay from the wine

I had this very combination in this very dining room at the end of May and very agreeable it was too. Nothing flash on the wine but the Yves Cuilleron we had (La Petite Cote 2022) was lovely.

You've drank 2 recently, a 2019 and a 2016. Which one did you prefer?
