91 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Bottled in September, the 2022 Condrieu from Levet comes from a single lieu-dit and is brought up in one-third in tank and the rest in used barrels. White flowers, honeyed peach, tangerine, and some sappy herb notes all emerge on the nose, and it's medium-bodied on the palate, with a beautiful sense of freshness and a clean finish. This is a classic, layered, elegant Condrieu to enjoy over the coming 4-5 years. Drink: 2026-2038 (Mar 2024)"

Importer notes: "The 'house cuvée' is a selected blend from all the parcels that the Levet family owns. Produced in the same manner as 'La Chavaroche' and 'Les Journaries,' this bottling tends to be the most open and immediately seductive of the three versions of Levet Côte-Rôtie. This easiness is relative, of course, for this bottling still impresses. Levet’s typical smoky and savage character is here counterpointed by an elegant, floral, and wild-berry fruit. 2015 marks the first vintage that we have imported this cuvée. Alas, we have now sourced all that is available of this storied domaine."
