Had this cuvée a couple of times during the National Championship Blind Tasting, not once nailing it as a Condrieu - felt embarrased, les so tonight. While this wine is holding up perfectly and is indeed very fresh and lively, very mineral, I would have thought more of a white St. Joseph; this is lacking the sweetness and the fatness of a classic Condrieu, but a great wine nevertheless.

wow! One of the best, most complex whites I have tasted. Pure golden in the glass, exotic fruits on the nose - mango, melon, lychee amongst others. Explosive taste - fruit with terroir. Long finish. Superb!

Delicate and restrained with lovely floral flavours. Perfumed and fragrant with notes of Turkish Delight. Long and fresh with nice zip and a decent weight of flavour. Very good.

The Wine Gang (London): Fairly neutral nose with just a hint of apricot. Very concentrated and quite steely. Long. Not really for me but clearly a very good wine. 17/20.

Lychee, floral and oak. Perfectly balanced with subtle acidity and a nice mouthfeel. Long smooth finish.
