Vintages 2009

Wine Advocate #193 - Feb 2011 

Score : 92

The totally dry 2009 Condrieu offers exotic lychee, pineapple, peach and honeysuckle characteristics along with full-bodied fruit, good acidity and minerality, a luscious mouthfeel and heady alcohol (14.5%). It should drink nicely for 2-3 years. DRINK: 2011 – 2014. Robert Parker.

Wine Spectator - Sep 30, 2011

Score: 91

Bright, engaging persimmon, tangerine and white peach notes characterize this juicy, nicely defined white, which shows bolder anise and green melon flavors on the finish. Drink now through 2012. 9,165 cases made. James Molesworth.

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - Jan/Feb 11

Score: 91

Pale gold. A highly expressive and perfumed bouquet of nectarine, peach nectar, orange marmalade and white flowers. Broad, palate-staining pit fruit flavors are braced by tangy minerality and become more floral with air. Offers a suave blend of depth and vivacity, with very good finishing clarity and stony persistence. Josh Raynolds.

Score : 15/20

Arômes précis de fruits jaunes secs, bouche élancée et droite, finale tendue, très bon style.
