95 Vinous
Translucent, green-tinged yellow. Incisive, mineral- and spice-driven pink grapefruit, pear and peach scents are complemented by building violet, iodine and floral nuances. Juicy and sharply focused on the palate, offering deeply concentrated yet lithe orchard and pit fruit flavors braced by a spine of smoky minerality and a touch of bitter citrus zest. Finishes sappy, nervy and extremely long, leaving floral and candied ginger notes behind. Josh Raynolds1st May 2020

Vernay's entry-level Condrieu—the 2018 Condrieu les Terrasses de l'Empire—strikes a fine balance between ebullience and restraint, plushness and structure. Flowers and apricots are joined by hints of white pepper in this medium to full-bodied effort. Still showing a bit of dissolved carbon dioxide, it's zesty and fresh, with a hint of citrus pith on the finish.Joe Czerwinski19th December 2019
