Pierre Jean Villa Condrieu Jardin Suspendu 2023 (Magnum 1.5L)

Pierre Jean Villa Condrieu Jardin Suspendu 2023 (Magnum 1.5L)When we met Pierre Jean at the Wine Paris expo last year and then tasted his wines we were instantly smitten. Hes one of those winemakers who oozes sincere adoration for his craft and land, and everything about his wines shows it: organic and biodynamic viticulture, minimal intervention in the cellar, and thoughtful sourcing and farming methods. Though hes decidedly under the radar, his estate is a secret well happily share just so long as you keep it
