Not many know that Condrieu can be made in an off-dry/sweet style. It was popular in the past but due to the trend towards dry wines, it gradually started to disappear... until now. The 2020 @domainejulienbarge Condrieu Demi-Sec is made with a touch of residual sugar and without sulfur addition. Glorious nose of honey water and elderflower. Light and fresh on the palate with just a touch of sweetness to keep it refreshing. Not cloying at all. Indeed this bottle #138 showed the best on Day 2, after some breathing. If you are tired of flabby alcoholic Condrieus, this is the one for you. Would love to try it again with some age!
