Yves Cuilleron La Petite Côte Condrieu 2018

Pale, green-hued straw. Suave, mineral-accented citrus and pit fruit aromas are complemented by suggestions of violet and ginger. Silky and focused on the palate, offering energetic Meyer lemon and Anjou pear flavors that deepen steadily on the back half. Finishes impressively long, smooth and precise, showing a building mineral quality and a touch of spiciness. Drinking window: 2021-2026. Score – 94. (Josh Raynolds, vinous.com, May 2020)
