Vintages 2013

eRobertParker.com #216 - Dec 2014

Score : 96

Slightly more fresh and focused than the 2012, the 2013 Condrieu la Doriane (aged 9 months in 100% new French oak) exhibits a vibrant bouquet of white flowers, white peach, tangerine and bitter citrus. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied, pure, elegant Condrieu that has terrific depth and richness to go with vibrant acidity, a focused texture and a great finish. It will be better next year and drink nicely through 2018. Jeb Dunnuck.

Wine Spectator - Issue: Web Only - 2014

Score: 94

Offers a flattering, corpulent feel, with pear, creamed peach and papaya notes that glide along, lined with macadamia nut, bitter almond and green fig details. A flash of salted butter gives the showy finish good contrast. Very long, exhibiting gorgeous mouthfeel. Drink now through 2018. 90 cases imported. James Molesworth.

Gault & Millau

Score : 18,5/20

Gracieuse et élégante dans son approche des saveurs (fleurs et fruits blancs et jaunes), mais racée et percutante dans son allonge sensorielle (épices nobles et boisée torréfiés), cette cuvée embellie sauvagement nos papilles! Epineuse ronce de roses
