Condrieu is a French appellation from the northern Rhône that is well-known for its exceptional dry white wines produced from Viognier grapes. The wines produced in the region have a specific style that is not found anywhere else in the world.
Full-bodied and intense, with a creamy texture, freshness, and well-structured minerality, Condrieu is especially aromatic in its youth when it typically displays floral and fruity aromas reminiscent of peaches and apricots, while aged varieties will often include aromas of honey and dried fruit.
These wines are best paired with fish, shellfish, and crustaceans, but they can also be a good match to pork, chicken, veal, cheese, and vegetables.
