Wine Advocate (96)Always the last to be released and possessing sensational purity and freshness, yet with tons of richness and depth, the 2014 Condrieu Coteaux de Vernon sports a medium-gold color as well as killer notes of orange marmalade, flower oil, toasted bread, brioche and crushed rock-like minerality. It's a big wine, yet stays gorgeously pure, fresh and focused, and is a quintessential Condrieu that every reader needs to drink more than once in their life! |

Vinous (95)Vivid straw-yellow. Intense, sharply delineated aromas of fresh nectarine, pear, candied orange and pungent flowers, along with a smoky mineral topnote. Stains the palate with honeysuckle flavors, ripe orchard and pit fruit that show outstanding definition and become deeper with air while maintaining vivacity. The mineral and floral qualities repeat emphatically on a strikingly long, sharply focused finish that leaves juicy pear liqueur and floral notes behind. |

Jeb Dunnuck (98)Lastly, the 2019 Condrieu Coteau De Vernon comes from a steep, southeast-facing hillside of granite soils and is brought up a mix of 15% new barrels and foudres. The foudres were introduced in 2012 and I think contribute to slightly more tension and vibrancy in the wines. Peach, crushed citrus, spicy wood, and crushed stone notes all define the nose, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, wonderful overall balance, integrated acidity, and one hell of a great finish. A reference point Condrieu if there ever was one, it will benefit from a year or two in bottle then have a gradual evolution over the following decade. These can unquestionably age for decades, in fact. Nevertheless, I prefer them from a year or two after the vintage and over the following 4-5 years. |
