Domaine Stéphane Ogier "La Combe de Malleval" Condrieu 2022

Jeb Dunnuck : 96 Points

(3/28/2024) The earliest harvest ever at Condrieu for Stephane, the 2022 Condrieu La Combe De Malleval offers a gorgeous perfume of white peach, orange blossom, white flowers, and a terrific sense of minerality. Balanced, medium to full-bodied, lively, and elegant, it's an absolutely incredible Viognier that's as good as anything in the vintage.

(2/6/2025) Ogier produced the 2022 Condrieu la Combe de Malleval from fully mature grapes planted in two lieux-dits, Veauvignière in the stunning commune of Malleval and La Combe in Saint-Pierre de Boeuf. This has shown very well today, evoking a flamboyant, vibrant bouquet of white peach, apricots, rose and mint mingled with lovely aromas of ripe pear. Full-bodied, dense and precise, it's enrobing and layered with a rich, fleshy core of fruit and a long, delicate and ethereal finish enhanced by gastronomic bitterness. It's built to age with grace. Drink Date: 2024 - 2044.

(4/15/2024) A stunning Condrieu, focused and textured. It expresses notes of preserved lemons, wild herbs, verbena and wildflowers. It’s medium to full-bodied with a fresh core of delicious white fruit and flowers. Focused and funneled, with a textural, flavorful finish. Drink or hold.
