"As a riper expression of Viognier, Chapoutier's 2018 Condrieu Invitare offers up floral aromas but also plenty of apricot and melon. It's medium to full-bodied, with a pleasantly silky texture but absolutely no hint of bitterness on the clean, lingering finish. It's a blend of purchased and estate grapes, with 75% fermented and aged in used barrels and 25% in stainless steel." - Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate

 

"Green-tinged straw. Penetrating aromas of fresh citrus and orchard fruits are complicated by suggestions of chalky minerals and pungent flowers. Juicy and sharply focused on the palate, offering fresh pear, Meyer lemon and jasmine flavors that show fine delineation and floral lift. The mineral and floral notes carry through the incisive finish, which lingers with strong persistence." - Josh Raynolds, Vinous

 

'“Invitare”, with its notes of white peaches, candied fruit and nice taut acidity, shows us the authentic character of the Condrieu appellation.  -  Aperitive: Soft goat's cheese. Goes perfectly with oriental and Asian food, but is very pleasant on its own too!' - M. Chapoutier
