An assemblage of 45% Grenache, 45% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah, the 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes follows the domaine's formula of maturing the Grenache in concrete tanks, while the Mourvèdre and Syrah go into...

A blend of 60% Merlot and 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2021 Pape Clement has a medium to deep garnet-purple color. It tumbles out of the glass with notions of plum preserves and Morello cherries, giving way to hints of...

A very elegant, floral and focused Fleurie with an excellent combination of lacy lightness and mineral density. Underplayed power and plenty of finesse, just like you expect from Fleurie in an excellent year, but this is...

Spicy, peppery, black raspberries, flowers, smoky herbs, and kirsch notes are all over the aromatics. The palate is even better with its layers of sweet, ripe, dark red fruits, spices, herbs, elegant, supple-textures, and...

(90-93 points) Mid purple. Rather a lovely nose, with cherries and raspberries with a small touch of strawberry mixed in. The palate provides a depth of sweet red fruit, with some length. Very attractive though I would...

Clean citrus, honeyed lemon zest, and some minty, floral notes all emerge from the 2021 Château Latour-Martillac Blanc, another fresher, vibrant, medium-bodied white in the vintage. It has bright yet integrated acidity...

This white evokes the seashore and briny mineral elements, along with lime blossom, apple, vanilla and butterscotch flavors. A hint of earth emerges as this extends on the mouthwatering finish. Drink now.

The advantages of old vines are perhaps most evident in the more difficult vintages (whether hot and dry or cool and rainy). The 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes is a strong effort, delivering supple, velvety...

Brought up all in tank, the 2021 Côtes De Provence Rosé has a Bandol-like vibrancy and more mineral-laced style. Light salmon-hued, with notes of orange blossom, chalky minerality, and a great finish, it's going to shine...

The 2021 Château Malescot Saint Exupéry is rock-solid in the vintage, with a plump, medium-bodied, nicely textured style. Red and blue fruits, tobacco, spice, and some leafy herb notes all define the aromatics, and it has...

Complex and subtle aromas of black cherries, chocolate and violets with hints of nutmeg and hazelnuts that open to a medium to full body, with fine and polished tannins that integrate nicely then grow beautifully at the...

An absolutely brilliant wine in the vintage, the 2021 Château Beau-Séjour Bécot has a concentrated, medium-bodied style that never puts a foot wrong. Black raspberries, flowers, chalky minerality, and subtle truffly notes...

(93-95 points) The 2021 Chambolle-Musigny Les Amoureuses 1er Cru blossoms in the glass: black cherries, blueberry, hints of date and pressed flowers and quite exuberant. It gains intensity with aeration. The palate is...

I like the savory olive notes here, with peppercorns and salted almonds amongst the red berry fruit. Some nutmeg. Creamy and layered on the palate, with a medium body and silky yet very present tannins. Powerful fruit...

(90-93 points) Reduction dominates everything save for subtle spice wisps that are discernible through the funk. The rich, seductive and caressing medium-bodied flavors also coat the palate thanks to the abundance of dry...

Restrained and distinctly cool aromas include a plethora of floral nuances that add elegance to the white orchard fruit, citrus and soft hazelnut wisps. The incredibly low yields are in evidence as the mouthfeel of the...

Checking in at 14.83% alcohol, the 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a refined and predominately red-fruited beauty. Licorice and herbaceous components add more dimension. Framed by gentle tannins and more medium- than...

This perfumed version features aromas and flavors of rose, wild strawberry, cherry, green olive, sandalwood, oak spice and incense. Offering a yin-yang of airiness and structure, this is linear, verging on racy. The silky...

The 2021 Saint Joseph Blanc is clearly outstanding, offering bright citrus, orange blossom, and honeyed flower notes in a medium-bodied, elegant, beautifully balanced package. I like its mid-palate depth and...

Perfumed cherry and spices are textured in this graceful version. Starts off glossy, but tannins take hold, giving a firm shape and focused finish. Black pepper, mocha and violet chime in, along with a sanguine thread of...

Presents loganberry and black currant fruit showing a mulled edge, while savory, black tea and bay leaf notes add range and nuance. Reveals a subtle juicy edge too, giving this a bit more drive than most of its peers in...

(93-96 points) Fresh, cool and admirably pure floral, green fruit and petrol scents are trimmed in just enough wood to merit pointing out. The restrained and intensely mineral-driven flavors possess excellent volume and...
