Paul Jaboulet Aine Condrieu Les Cassines 2020 750ml
A beautifully expressive Viognier from one of the Rhône Valley’s most historic producers, Les Cassines takes its name from the small fishermen’s cottages that line the banks of the river. Crystalline in color with subtle green reflections, this Condrieu reveals delicate aromas of violets, lily of the valley, and apricot confit. The palate opens fresh and mineral, evolving into a round, ample texture balanced by zesty citrus and juicy stone fruit. Elegant and precise, it finishes with length and poise—a graceful reflection of the Condrieu terroir and Jaboulet’s timeless craftsmanship.
