Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.The 2021 vintage in the press:
La Revue du Vin de France (September 2023): 95/100 “Everything is complex and at the same time simple in this wine. The elegance of the aromas on the nose form a delicate, sensitive whole, and the charm of the palate is underpinned by a texture of delicate salinity and a temperance of juicy fruit. Nothing protrudes from this well-balanced Condrieu".
