Tasting notes
Reviewed by: Yohan Castaing
The 2022 Condrieu Jardin Suspendu is, as usual, a strong effort. Wafting from the glass with aromas of jasmine, white flowers, spring flowers and honeysuckle, it's medium to full-bodied, sappy and round with a rich, perfectly balanced core of fruit enhanced by subtle oaky notes and some freshness in the mid-palate, leading to a long, ethereal and racy finish. Crafted from vines planted on granite soils, this is a harmonious, clean wine.
