Picked in early September, the 2022 Condrieu les Chaillees de l'Enfer is one of the standouts this year, as is so often the case, unfurling in the glass with aromas of almond blossoms, pear, white peach, chamomile and fresh flowers, giving the sensation of a cold vintage’s aroma profile despite the dry, hot conditions of the year. Full-bodied, dense and rich, it's perfectly balanced with a satiny attack, a broad, fleshy core of fruit and a long, demonstrative and quite elegant finish. It's a terrific effort that transcends the vintage. 95/100
ROBERT PARKER
Fascinating nose of dried pears and summer meadows. Rich and full-bodied with a lot of finesse and a silky texture. The finish is long, and simultaneously supple and crystalline. From more than 60-year-old vines in the middle terraces of the hillside. Vinifed in large oak. Drink or hold. 94/100
