Where the Chanson is a step down over the 2021, this 2022 Condrieu Chery is clearly a step up and has Chateau Grillet-like aromas and flavors of white peach, honeyed flowers, incredible minerality, and a kiss of rose petals. This medium to full-bodied, salty, mineral-laced, incredibly pure Condrieu is absolutely magical today yet will easily evolve for a decade.

Perret's emblematic cuvée, the 2022 Condrieu Chery, is purer and more ethereal than Clos Chanson due to its granite and sandy soils. Evoking aromas of pear, menthol, white peach, flowers and delicate notes of spices, it's full-bodied, satiny and enveloping with a multidimensional but weightless core of fruit, racy acids and a long, precise and intensely mineral, saline and vibrant finish. Currently structured and reserved, its evolution in the bottle promises to be compelling. This is a must-have for aficionados of profound, precise and pure Rhône Valley whites.
