This is a wonderfully fresh and mineral Condrieu, a real pleasure to savour. Unlike so many examples where the fruits are one dimensional this wine evolves and gains in complexity in the glass. Super acidity and balance. Delicious. (JG) [more details]

A slow fermentation appears to have built considerable texture and untuosity into this rich, syrupy wine. A classic in the making. Dense and concentrated, maybe equal to the stunning ‘99. Drink young or age 10-15 years. (Robert Parker) [more details]
