"Pale yellow. Fresh citrus and pit fruits on the highly perfumed, floral-accented nose. Silky and seamless in texture, offering vibrant, concentrated tangerine and white peach flavors plus suggestions of violet and fennel. A zesty jolt of white pepper adds lift and bite to a long, penetrating finish, with the floral and mineral notes emphatically repeating."

"This Southern Rhone estate continues to make a beautiful Condrieu, and the 2013 Condrieu La Reine des Bois offers classic brioche, crème brûlée, honeysuckle and both white peach and apricot-like fruit on the nose. Medium to full-bodied, with plenty of texture, it stays lively, fresh and brilliantly pure. Drink it over the coming couple of years. - Jeb Dunnuck"

"Somehow I missed getting a note on the 2016, but the 2017 Condrieu Christophe Delorme is no slouch. The Delormes own less than a hectare in Condrieu, with the day-to-day management being done in conjunction with the Paret family. Honeyed and toasty, with generous waves of lychee, apricot and spice, this medium to full-bodied effort finishes fresh, lively and long. - Joe Czerwinski"
