Score 88/100 · Drink 2014-2017, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Dec 2014
Readers looking for a more inexpensive view of the style of this estate should check out their 2013 Viognier VDP le Pied de Samson! Coming from 75-year-old vines planted in granite soils on top of the plateau, it’s a mini-Condrieu and exhibits beautiful apricot, citrus and pineapple notes to go with a fresh, lively, quaffable feel on the palate. Drink it over the coming couple of years.
