2018 Vignobles Chirat Condrieu 'Clos Poncins'

Shimmering straw. High-pitched orange, melon and pear aromas show impressive energy and noteworthy definition. Smooth and silky on entry, then taut in the midpalate, offering vivid, mineral-laced honeydew, Anjou pear and citrus fruit flavors that take on anise and floral qualities with air. Finishes extremely long and precise, with refreshing mineral cut and thrust and suave, lingering florality.
