Les Chaillées de l’Enfer is a wine with "mad charm." With fruit (apricot, pear, white peach, etc.), it combines citrus, waxy notes, and other more floral notes (white flowers, rose, violet, etc.), more vegetal notes (mint, thyme, etc.), and spices (ginger, saffron, etc.). Condrieu, full of tension, saline and iodine, distinguished, with a beautiful freshness, it is a wine of great purity, a beautiful balance, firm and tender.
Noticeably richer and more textured, with buttered citrus, honeysuckle, crushed rock, brioche and sautéed peach notes, the 2014 Condrieu les Chailles de L'Enfer is a rich, medium to full-bodied, impeccably-balanced effort that has more than a passing resemblance to its bigger brother, the Coteaux du Vernon.
