Pierre-Jean Villa : Jardin Suspendu 2024

Strong Condrieu aromas of orange peel, peach, cinnamon and nutmeg, with flowers in the background. Intense salinity and mashed citrus. Unusually long for a 2024, the freshness combining with intensity, richness and softness. Extremely good. Fermented and matured in large, old oak barrels for 12 months.

The 2024 Condrieu Jardin Suspendu immediately shows just ripe apricot and white peach, spring blossom, pastry and ripe apple engravings. Midlevel-bodied and fresh-focused, the 2024 is tidily structured upon lifting vivacity, concluding with stone fruit driven persistence on the long finish that's accentuated by quietly woven saltiness.
