October 28, 2018 - Second bottle, second time tasted with other much more expert palettes, second time same verdict. Barely recognisable as Viognier, far less the great Vernay. Lacking in concentration and body. We suspect overly high yields. A disappointment.

March 10, 2018 - 2015 S. Nicholas vs 2015 Dom. G. Vernay vs. 2014 S. Cosme Condrieu:
- Direkt vor dem Probieren geöffnet
- Farbe: Condrieu etwas dunkler, ansonsten Stroh-gelb / weiß. Praktisch kein Unterschied zwischen dem Viognier und Chenin Blanc zu erkennen
- S. Nicholas hat Birne, Kamille und hinten raus viel Zitrone. Schöner Wein, etwas spitz.
- Vernay ist der leichteste Wein. Eher Pfirisch. Nicht so starke Säure im Nachgang.
- Condrieu hat intensiven Pfirisch, deutlich stärker als im Vernay. Mit Abstand der intensivste Wein. Fast Mango. Spannend.
- Kaum zu vergleichende Weine. Aber spannend Chenin Blanc gegen Viognier zu trinken. Für mich ist heute der Condrieu der spannendste Wein. -

November 7, 2016 - Un viognier tendu comme de coutume chez Vernay, avec un nez jeune sur la grenadine (!), floral, qui demande un peu d'épanouissement en cave, d'autant que la tension en bouche est palpable, avec une finale rafraichissante.
une bonne entree en matiere dans le monde du Viognier, avec la patte du domaine.
