Alex Hunt: This golden-colored wine certainly captures the fragility of Roussanne, with apricot-kernel aromas already taking on notes of straw and biscuits. The balance between acid, alcohol, and fruit is good, but there’s a lack of energy to the flavor that translates to a fatiguing experience for the drinker. 84

Andrew Jefford: Mid-gold; bright and glinting. Fresh, light; scents of hay and citrus pith: attractive and true enough to variety, given the different location. Full, soft, lots of sweet seed flavors; ample glycerol; subtle, mouth-filling and intriguing. Perfumed right the way through the mouth, too—hay and meadow flowers. An excellent translation of a Rhône original. Beautifully soft, sumptuous, and seamless. 93

Peter Liem: This is waxy and fragrant, showing a fullbodied ripeness while balancing its richness well. Its flavors of pear, guava, and melon are lively and clean, complemented by a suave texture. 90
