Delas : Clos Boucher 2021

Complex nose of toasted baguette and flint, plus a wide spectrum of stone fruits. Excellent concentration and a vibrancy that’s rare in this appellation. It makes the wine feel a lot lighter than it really is. Very long, elegant finish where there’s even more fruit than on the front and mid-palates. Unusually good aging potential for this grape variety. Drink or hold.

Tasted before bottling. An elegant nose of fresh apricot, slightly reductive but it suits the wine well. On the palate, a caressing texture and that consistent thread of fruit-driven indulgence.

This is a well-built Condrieu, with notes of yellow fruit, without exuberance or heaviness. It maintains a fairly straight, slender structure, with just the right coating. The finish is driven by lovely citrus notes.

Harmonious aromas of fresh lemon zest, orange oil, apricot, pineapple and peach harmonize in the glass. The palate is utterly captivating, akin to savoring a platter of ripe orchard fruits drenched in fresh acacia honey. Truly breathtaking.
