The 2020 Savagnin Antide, a cuvée named after Ganevat's son, reveals itself as the best Savagnin from 2020. It's stunning and a big jump from the quality of the négoce wines. This was made with estate grapes from vines in...

The nose opens with salted dark chocolate, Luxardo cherries, pomegranate syrup and espresso, then aromas of new leather and crushed rocks emerge. The palate is full of bitter chocolate and sweet and tart berries, and has...

Aromas of blackberries, graphite and touches of hazelnuts and chocolate. This is on the ripe side, but really poised and refined, with finely etched tannins and rich fruit. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold.

The 2020 Chapelle d'Ausone has ample toasty oak on the nose, which continues to shade the black fruit underneath. Yet it coheres in the glass, finally allowing the terroir to shine through. The palate is medium-bodied...

The 2020 Les Pensées de Lafleur is a wine that I rated very highly at the blind Southwold tasting—but on this bottle, perhaps in juxtaposition with the 2019, there is a patina of over-ripeness on the nose. The palate...

This red is supple in texture, evoking cherry, strawberry, floral and mineral flavors. There's also a distinctive salty taste and fine viscosity on the palate. This is balanced, with a judicious layer of tannins framing...
