93/100
Robert Parker
Combining power and elegance, with aromas of citrus, preach and apricot, "Aux Ruses" is a Condrieu you'll quickly fall under the spell of. This south-facing lieu-dit is full-bodied and fat on the palate, with a hint of the minerality typical of Granit. A superb gastronomic white!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the domain :
A small domaine with vines that are sometimes quite old in the Côte Brune area, and a disciple of Patrick Jasmin in winemaking, which is a guarantee of authenticity. The estate did well in 2015, which is to be expected in this sector.
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Established for three generations in Ampuis, Jocelyne and Yves Lafoy created their domaine in 1993, joined in 2011 by their son Gaëtan, and together cultivate 9 ha of vines, in Côte-Rôtie, Condrieu, Saint-Joseph and IGP Collines Rhodaniennes.
