Great 94 point Condrieu




The small plot that the Facchin’s now cultivate is a lieu dit called Les Grand ’ Maisons . The dizzyingly steep vineyard sits right in the sweet spot of the hillside with a southeastern exposure.


2010 Facchin Les Grand Maisons Condrieu...$59.99
My favorite of the lineup, the 2010 Condrieu Les Grand Maisons has slightly more maturity on the nose, with ripe apricots, caramelized sugar, crushed rock and hints of spice that give way to a full-bodied, supple and layered palate that carries excellent acidity, big fruit and a dry, length finish. It’s a beautiful bottle of Condrieu that will drink nicely for 2-3 years

Rated 94/100 The Wine Advocate
