"Full-bodied, really intensely flavoured, zesty and intense. There's some citrus peel notes that mingle with the violet and juicy satsuma fruit. Great freshness and intensity, this is a Condrieu in all but name. It has remarkable finesse for an IGP – look beyond this relatively lowly classification, the quality is excellent." Matt Walls, decanter.com, 92 pts
