Juicy, fresh, blackberry-tinged, vibrant, precise and fresh. Subtle violet note with raspberry, minerals and great length. Will be quite Burgundian with age, feels like a classic vintage and you don't feel the 14.5% alcohol at all. All destemmed, aged in old foudres, yields of just 17hl/ha.

The 2024 Châteauneuf Du Pape is a beautiful showing that has a Grand Cru Burgundy-like style in its aromatics of darker berries, sous bois, licorice, and peppery herbs. Based on 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and 5% other varieties, fully destemmed and aged 12 months in foudre, it's incredibly well balanced on the palate, has ripe, polished tannins, and remarkable tension and precision. It's a gorgeously pure, long, elegant wine. -Jeb Dunnuck

(95-96 points) A seductive, silky and refined red with cassis, mocha and exotic spices on the nose. It's full-bodied with fine tannins. Lively and precise with an ultra-fine texture. Dense fruit and dark chocolate at this stage. Peppery and vibrant.

(94-96 points) Cropped at a minuscule 16 hl/ha, the promising 2024 Châteauneuf-du-Pape checks in at 15.1% alcohol. Boasting a whopping 45% Mourvèdre within the total blend, this is a lip-smackingly spicy, fleshy and black-fruited Clos des Papes with stunning intensity. Complex and expressive, the full-bodied 2024 is shaped by ripe tannins and packs notable tension alongside measured opulence, maintaining striking overall balance at all times. Without a doubt, the 2024 Clos des Papes is a candidate for the wine of the vintage. - Nicolas Greinacher, October 2025

Starts off fluid and glossy in feel but quickly turns more complex, unfurling an impressive range of star fruit, pear and melon notes woven with green almond, fennel, nutmeg and dried herbs. Hums with energy and smoky depth, offering just a hint of piecrust on the fresh finish. Shows cut and precision, with a laser beam of mineral and acidity lacing everything together.
