The 2024 Domaine René Rostaing Condrieu La Bonnette is a beautifully aromatic Viognier from the prestigious Condrieu appellation in the Northern Rhône. Produced by René Rostaing, one of the region’s most respected growers, this wine showcases the purity, texture and floral complexity that have made Condrieu one of the world’s benchmark expressions of Viognier.
The nose is intensely fragrant, revealing aromas of apricot, white peach and mandarin alongside notes of honeysuckle, orange blossom and subtle spice. On the palate, it is richly textured yet remarkably fresh, with vibrant acidity supporting layers of stone fruit, citrus and delicate floral nuances. The finish is long, elegant and finely balanced, carrying a distinctive mineral freshness that adds precision and length.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for those who enjoy expressive and textured white wines with genuine regional character. Its combination of aromatic richness and freshness makes it a superb match for grilled scallops, lobster, roast chicken or dishes featuring aromatic herbs and spices. Enjoy while youthful and vibrant over the next 5–8 years, or cellar short to medium term for added complexity.
