  July 8, 2021 - Besoin d’air!
  Un peu engoncé au depart, bien que typé « viognier fin et mineral », il s’est érigé en grand vin de condrieu au bout d’une heure: la tension saline, la complexité subtile, la classe sont arrivées ensuite; mes comparses l’ont monté au pinacle, j’emmettrais juste une réserve sur une forme de classicisme œnologique, je trouve que le vin pourrait degager plus d’energie, plus de relief, voire de pureté (le boisé me dérangeait un poil au départ).
  Il n’en reste pas moins que c’est un grand condrieu de terroir!

  July 19, 2020 - Layer upon layer of honey, minerals, exotic fruit, peach, pineapple and a great minerality. It's acting up like a white Hermitage, yet this is very much its own. While not quite up there with the 1983 some years ago, this - once again - proves the pouvoir of this great terroir; colour me impressed. No signs of decline.

  April 9, 2012 - Tasted next to the 2007 Jemrose Viognier from Bennett Valley (CA) and the Jemrose beat this wine. The Vernay was polished and smooth and yet softer in tone, lacking the cut and intensity of the Jemrose.

  December 25, 2011 - Nice golden color. Nose remids of apricots, tangerine zest, white flowers, cloted cream, a hint of white pper. Wonderful mouth, with a long finish reminding of butter and candied ginger
