Score 91-93/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous
(from vines on the oldest hillside of Condrieu) Bright nose combines apricot, grapefruit, flowers and minerals. Dense but juicy and penetrating, with impressive precision of flavor. Currently comes across as less fat than the Chaillees de l'Enfer, but this is vibrant, firm and built to age, not to mention more gripping on the back end. Christine recommends holding this for four or five years.
