[kawn-DREE-yuh]
An APPELLATION located near the village of Condrieu, south of CÔTE-RÔTIE in France’s northern RHÔNE region. Condrieu AC produces only white wines made from VIOGNIER. These DRY, RICH wines have a perceptible spiciness and aromas and flavors reminiscent of apricots, peaches, and pears. They’re very expensive because they’re quite good and difficult to find.
