Overview of the Wine
The story began with Michel Chapoutier, a unique man with a thirst for knowledge, definitely one of a kind. Michel is openminded and always willing to learn. He seeks to discover and reflect the full potential of his terroirs and let the soils express their true character. That which gives the wines their signature style. This now forms the basis of the M. CHAPOUTIER ethos and our team strives to reveal the very best of what the soils have to offer.

94 Points - James Suckling
A well-rounded. textural and succulent white with notes of fresh lemons, blanched almonds, sage and some stones. It’s medium-bodied with a mineral drive. Succulent green apple character, with a positive bitterness throughout. It’s precise, lively and textured with a salivating, floral finish. Drink or hold.
91 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2022 Condrieu Invitare comes from the northern part of the Condrieu (there's a splash from vines near Limony). It's an outstanding wine, offering pretty orange, quince, and floral notes as well as a kiss of minerality. Balanced and medium-bodied, it has a bright, refreshing profile and a great finish. Drink bottles over the coming 5-7 years or so.
