CONDRIEU PIERRE GAILLARD 2022 75cl

Tasting notes

Octroi 2022 perfectly encapsulates the beauty of the Condrieu terroir. The nose reveals aromas of pear, acacia, and almond. On the palate, the wine is aromatic and offers a lovely salinity that lends it a vibrant energy. Elegant and mineral, this wine is, in our opinion, among the finest Condrieu .

Food and wine pairings and service

L'Octroi will be ideal with poultry in cream sauce, veal stew or seafood.
