2010 Condrieu, La Chambée, Les Vins De Vienne

Condrieu, La Chambee, Les Vins De Vienne
From the more Rubenesque end of the Condrieu spectrum, with new oak added for good measure, this is a sweet and generous wine, with honeysuckle, dried apricot and quince all evidenced; ideal for early drinking; a dream, one would imagine with lobster bisque or goat’s cheese salad, to name but two.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

If one believes the old adage about imitation and flattery, then Les Vins de Vienne should be justifiably proud of the numerous growers now making wine from the ancient vineyards of Seyssuel, just to the north of the old Roman town of Vienne. The role of the founders, Messrs Gaillard, Cuilleron and Villard is now one of benevolent consultancy and today it is winemaker Pascal Lombard who is guiding the style and building the reputation. In the manner of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, the off-spring has now out-grown all three of its progenitors, but this does not seem to have had a detrimental effect on quality, particularly with the Domaine wines, the best of which are offered below.
