Paul Jaboulet Aine Condrieu Les Cassines 2024 750ml
Paul Jaboulet Aîné Condrieu Les Cassines 2024 is an elegant expression of Northern Rhône Viognier, grown on steep, south and southeast-facing granitic slopes overlooking the Rhône. The vintage showcases the aromatic intensity of Viognier while retaining the freshness and mineral character of its Condrieu terroir. Floral notes of orange blossom lead into vine peach and melon, followed by a vibrant palate of stone fruit and citrus with a delicate bitter finish.
