Tasting note

Yves Cuilleron's 2000 Les Chaillets should suggest Viognier aromas of apricot, peach and honeysuckle, with a floral lift. Condrieu fruit is expected to feel rounded and perfumed, a soft texture balanced by enough acidity to keep the palate clear. Its projected drinking horizon ended in 2006, so freshness may have faded and bottle condition is important. If sound, expect a gentle finish of dried stone fruit and soft spice.
