"The top wine of the estate, the tiny production 2013 Condrieu Héritage comes from a number of terroirs (similar to the les Ravines), and sees 12 months in equal parts French oak and stainless steel. Starting out crisp and mineral-laced, it blossoms with time in the glass and reveals beautiful notes of white peach, marmalade, stone fruits and dried herbs. Medium-bodied, classic, energetic and lively, it strikes a good balance between richness and fresh, and comes across as a classic, textbook Condrieu. It will drink well for 4-5 years.- Jeb Dunnuck"

"A selection of the best individual barrels/cuves, the 2016 Condrieu Heritage is drawn from the estate's oldest vines (around 70 years old), aged in stainless steel (60%) and barrel (40%). It's textbook floral, apricot aromas lead into a medium to full-bodied wine that manages to be rich and viscous without being cloying, as citrus zest and brine emerge on the long finish. - Joe Czerwinski"
"A selection of the best barrels, from vines up to 70 years old. The Intense nose has great purity of expression, focussing more on flowers than fruit. In the mouth, it is full, silky and flowing, finishing with a hint of noble bitterness. It's very long indeed, with great finesse. Like many Condrieus in 2016, it does lack a touch of acidity, but it's nonetheless an excellent example. Drinking Window 2018 - 2021."
"Coming from a who’s who of vineyards (Roncharde, Côte Chatillon, La Caille, Vergelas, Corbéry and Chéry) and brought up in a mix of stainless steel and French oak, the 2016 Condrieu Héritage boasts an exotic, perfumed bouquet of wildflowers, honeysuckle, liquid rock and ripe tangerines. With medium-bodied richness and a crisp, balanced, beautifully fresh style, it just sings of pure Viognier (and Condrieu) and is a great white to drink over the coming 4-6 years."
"A cellar selection of the best lots, Nitro's 2019 Condrieu Heritage is typically about 50% barrel aged, whereas the other cuvées run about 40% barrel and 60% tank. Whatever the oak regimen, it's a minor element of the wine, with the emphasis on flowers, peppery spice and ripe apricots. Full-bodied and rich, it nevertheless reveals remarkable freshness and length on the finish—a true exemplar of the appellation.
