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 offers a full-bodied, rich palate with a hint of minerality typical of granite soils. A superb white wine for fine dining!
