Lionel Faury, Condrieu (Rhône Valley, France) “Le Mornieux” 2023 ($65, Kermit Lynch)

Hailing from the historical homeland of Viognier, this Condrieu highlights the complexity of this oft-misunderstood grape. The wine is brimming with a mineral opulence, remaining fresh and vibrant with every sip. Notes of confit citrus and stone fruit add richness, along with hints of honeysuckle and almonds.
