VINOUSMEDIA 93 POINTS: "Bright violet. Focused, high-pitched black raspberry and floral scents are complemented by suggestions of smoky minerals and Asian spices. Juicy and energetic on the palate; alluringly sweet red and dark berry liqueur flavors are given zesty lift and spine by tangy acidity and a repeating mineral note. Smooth, slow-building tannins shape the impressively persistent, spice-tinged finish. This elegant wine should be approachable on the young-ish side but has the depth and balance to age."

eROBERT PARKER 90 POINTS: "Moving to the Cote Rotie releases and bottled in July, the 2013 Cote Rotie Blonde de Seigneur shows the pretty, more elegant side to Cote Rotie and would be a terrific introduction to reds from Christine. Raspberries, dried flowers, dried herbs and ample spice all emerge from this elegant, medium-bodied, sweetly fruit and charming 2013 that's ideal for drinking anytime over the coming 8-10 years."
WINE SPECTATOR 92 POINTS: "A fresh, sleek style, with mouthwatering olive, rosemary and white pepper notes pulling the core of cherry along. Has the slightly crisp angle of the vintage, but shows depth and energy that should help this fill out with modest cellaring. Best from 2017 through 2022. 1,250 cases made." –JM
