96 points Decanter"Among the rooibos and citrus in the high-altitude Piekenierskloof you can find South Africa's oldest, dryland Grenache vines, so muscled they are sometimes called 'booms', Afrikaans for trees. Grenache-whisperer Marelise Niemann has...

95 points Decanter"Slightly reductive nose currently, but it’s pure, fruity and juicy on the palate, with vibrant acidity and a long finish. A powerful and concentrated, joyful style of Condrieu with rich peach, apricot flesh, cinnamon and citrus...

Jancis Robinson"Also rich and slow, like the Folatières – heavy with its oak mantle. But the Garenne does have more freshness and racy acidity. Lime and lemon zest. Long in the spine and mid line, promising magnificence if you wait...

Vinous Reverie NotesBernard Millot carefully farms the Goutte d'Or climate, one of the most prestigious in Meursault. The limestone terroir and the vinification in oak barrels, with aging on fine lees for 12 to 18 months, give this wine great complexity...
