Condrieu La Berne 2012 Lionel Faury 4 x 75cl / 14%

This lot contains four bottles of Condrieu La Berne 2012 from producer Lionel Faury.

'This has a “sober” bouquet, gives a round air of vanilla, peanut, cooked pineapple and orange. It has a stately, assured aspect, isn’t going anywhere fast. The palate is nicely deep-seated, bears a rolled-up layer of white plum, pear, some apricot; it then liberates a little, takes on a more saline note. Sound grip, closes well. A serious Condrieu with a life of several years ahead. Drink with lobster, crayfish, monkfish, white truffles. Its texture is quite dense, but that never slows it down – it spreads really well across the palate. 2020-21 ****(*)' John Livingstone-Learmonth, DrinkRhone, tasted 2013.

This lot comes from the temperature-controlled cellar of media businessman and wine enthusiast Lord Evgeny Lebedev, where it has been kept since purchase direct from UK importers.
