“A medium gold hue as well as terrific orange blossom, stone fruit, and honeyed flower-like aromas and flavors. It's medium-bodied, has a layered, textured mouthfeel, nicely integrated acidity, and a crisp, mineral-laced style on the finish. It's a terrific white.”

“It's deep ruby/plum-hued and delivers incredible purity in its fresh cherry, red plum, spring flowers, and Provençal, spicy, garrigue-like nuances. Medium to full-bodied and concentrated, with impressive density.”

“A medium gold hue and boasts a brilliant perfume of honeyed orange, white peach, white flowers, spice, and crushed stone. This rich, medium to full-bodied, focused, and elegant white shows a vibrant, clean, lengthy style.”

“One of the deeper hued, richer, more structured and serious wines in the vintage, it has an absolutely gorgeous perfume of blackberries, sappy garrigue, spring flowers, graphite, and crushed stone. Has a great mid-palate, clean, vibrant acidity, ripe tannins, and a great finish.”

“Decidedly fresh, open and giving on the nose. This has a gorgeous fruit expression, showing blackberry, thyme, rosemary and black olive. Only medium-bodied on the palate, nicely tucked-in and tailored, with a good sense of freshness, precision and finesse. It finishes long, neat and tapered. This is harmonious and very good indeed.”

“Packs a weighty core of cherry preserves and plum, with black licorice notes, toasted apple wood and a firming spine of iron. A formidable, serious red, laced with ripe yet subtly grippy tannins through the singed herb–flecked finish.”

“A pure, focused style, with generous raspberry ganache and red licorice flavors that are juicy, inviting and well-framed by finely sculpted tannins and graphite shavings. Full-bodied without being heavy, with black pepper, wild herbs and mesquite playing out on the fresh, structured finish.”

“A beautifully alluring white, with acacia flower perfume followed by slightly honeyed citrus and yellow apple. Shows a savory bed of crushed flint that grounds the palate, filled out with fleur de sel and shortbread notes. Brimming with energy, this is well-balanced through the medium-to-long finish, which is flecked with grapefruit pith and smoke.”

“An elegant red, with nice freshness and purity to the wild cherry, plum and red licorice flavors. Shows a spine of crushed graphite that firms up the somewhat structured palate, with charred garrigue and sandalwood on the finish.” 

“There is underlying power to this seductive wine, which opens with rich blackberry paste and vanilla-steeped cherry edged in graphite and roasted herbs. This is anchored by fine-grained tannins and a salty, smoky mineral finish that lingers.” 

“Showcases soft blackberry and steeped plum flavors that are approachable and round, with pencil shavings, flashes of anise and grilled thyme adding intrigue. Juicy and tasty, with nice integration on the palate and good overall length.” 

“This deeply hued beauty offers a stunning bouquet of blackberries, scorched earth, licorice, ground pepper, and sappy garrigue. I always find a Burgundian-like texture on this wine, and the 2020 is no exception – this is one to put into a blind tasting of Grand Cru Red Burgundies and shock your friends. Medium to full-bodied, ultra-pure, with grippy, sappy tannins, flawless balance, and a great finish, it’s pure class all the way. This is a wine you don't want to miss, and one of the finest wines I’ve tasted from this estate.”

“Slightly deeper gold-hued compared to the classic cuvée, it offers textbook notes of sauteed peach, honeyed citrus, flower oil, and hints of green almonds. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated, and beautifully balanced, it has good acidity and a great finish.”

“The 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape is terrific, offering classic darker berry fruits as well as peppery garrigue and sappy flower notes. As with the Boisrenard release, this has plenty of tannins and structure, but it’s beautifully balanced and has remarkable purity as well as a great finish.” 

The classic cuvée from this estate, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape is a winner. Lots of darker cherry and currant fruits as well as ample minerality, new leather, and scorched earth notes all emerge from this medium to full-bodied, concentrated classic cuvée that has plenty of ripe tannins, the freshness and acidity of the vintage, terrific balance, and the class to evolve for two decades.

Powerful nose that is shrouded in high-quality oak (which doesn't dominate). Huge concentration of dark spice-led fruit, cedary notes and wonderfully supple tannins – a blend of savoury and sweet with nothing overpowering each element. Really tight and compact but packed full of concentration.

Lemon curd and white peach with a honeyed note. Chunky palate with a honeycomb crunch – lots of freshness.

Great purity and serious concentration without overt weight. A very powerful, complete, driving style of wine, big in tannin, acid and alcohol with a long finish.

Tasted blind. Attractive vibrant nose with zippy dark fruits and sweet fragrant tobacco notes. Firm and fine chalky tannins with a warming ripe mouthfeel but underpinned by good acidity and freshness.

Shows a creamy edge, with a mix of lemon curd, white peach and yellow apple fruit flavors, backed by hints of brioche and macadamia nut. A subtle stony underlay gives it spine on the very stylish and lengthy finish.
