Not yet bottled, the 2023 Condrieu Clos Boucher shows pure honeyed stone fruits, white flowers, and a kiss of minerality on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, has a fresh, focused style, good acidity, and a solid kiss of minerality on the finish. I love its freshness and purity, and it still hangs onto a wonderfully classic Condrieu style.
