Vinous (98+)Saturated dark red. Knockout nose combines blueberry, blackberry, violet, orange peel, crushed rocks and minerals. Almost painful in its pure sappy density, with palate-staining flavors of wild dark berries, flowers, and pepper. And yet this is easier to taste today than the comparatively compact Bonnes-Mares. The fabulous mounting finish goes on and on. An incredible wine, with great complexity to come. This boasts the density of a diamond. |

Jancis Robinson (19)Just less than 0.1 ha (a quarter of an acre). Ancient vines – 1905 or possibly older because the register of vineyards was rewritten in 1905 and when they didn’t know how old a vineyard was they just wrote 1905. His grandfather started as a share-cropper on this vineyard in 1924 and the vines were already old. 80% whole bunch. Barrel sample from a 2016 barrel that is three-quarters of the usual 228-litre size. Deep smudgy crimson. How can grapes become a wine like this? The aroma is outstanding. Deep not explosive, yet still with a prettiness in its seriousness. There’s red and dark fruit, there’s spice, there’s peony, there’s rocky minerality. Super-smooth tannins. Fine grained and not far off silky already. Pure, lifted and precise. Outstanding elegance and length. |

Burghound (95)(from a .54 ha parcel that is now controlled 100% by the domaine). An exuberantly floralsuffused nose is also cool, pure and airy with its ripe aromas of the essence of wild red currant and truffle hints. The supersleek, intense and chiseled middleweight flavors are almost as mineral-driven as the Les Cras though with more power on the youthfully austere and hugely persistent finish. This is superb and highly recommended. |

Vinous (94)Translucent yellow. Expansive nectarine, poached pear, honey and floral aromas sharpened by a zesty, building mineral flourish. Gently sweet and seamless on the palate, offering densely packed orchard and pit fruit flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Shows excellent focus and mineral cut on the floral-dominated finish, where a gingery note adds closing spiciness and bite. |

Wine Advocate (95)Picked in early September, the 2022 Condrieu les Chaillees de l'Enfer is one of the standouts this year, as is so often the case, unfurling in the glass with aromas of almond blossoms, pear, white peach, chamomile and fresh flowers, giving the sensation of a cold vintage’s aroma profile despite the dry, hot conditions of the year. Full-bodied, dense and rich, it's perfectly balanced with a satiny attack, a broad, fleshy core of fruit and a long, demonstrative and quite elegant finish. It's a terrific effort that transcends the vintage. |

This is an insanely good Condrieu to drink over the coming decade. Drink 2026-2036. |
