Domaine Lafoy - Condrieu Aux Ruses 2020
93/100
Robert Parker
Combining power and elegance with aromas of citrus, peach, and apricot, "Aux Ruses" is a Condrieu that quickly wins you over. This south-facing vineyard produces a full-bodied wine with a rich texture and a hint of minerality typical of Granite terroirs. A superb white wine for fine dining!

Bettane & Desseauve
Winery rated 1 star (A high-quality, recommended wine that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))
About the estate:
A small winery with vineyards that are sometimes quite old in the Côte Brune region, and a disciple of Patrick Jasmin’s winemaking style—a mark of authenticity. The winery managed to hold its own in 2015, which is typical for the region.
