"... the wine of the vintage. You're not going to find a richer, more concentrated wine out there, especially one that's also flawlessly balanced and as seamless as they come. Almost all Grenache from a single parcel of sandy soils, brought up in foudre, its dense purple hue is followed by a mammoth-sized bouquet of black and blue fruits, herbes de Provence, graphite, ground pepper, and liquid violets. Full-bodied, powerful, and opulent on the palate, it has building yet sweet tannins, remarkable purity of fruit, and a huge mid-palate, all of which give it some approachability even today.

The 2020 Réservé is a powerful yet multidimensional Châteauneuf-du-Pape, revealing a dense, complex bouquet of dark cherries, garrigue, spices, dark wild berries and flowers, with subtle notes of bay leaf and coniferous forest. Full-bodied, dense and opulent, it's sappy and enrobing, with structured, velvety tannins and a fleshy, dense core of fruit, showcasing remarkable purity and depth, leading to a long, spicy, and seemingly endless finish.
Rated 98/100 The Wine Advocate
A blockbuster that maintains form and definition despite its massive heft. Dense and dark, with chewy notes of sweet cassis, violet and perfectly ripe fig, all laced with leafy tobacco on a foundation of solid iron. The oak has nicely retreated into the backdrop, and a salty beam of succulent acidity washes through. Manages to stay pure, balanced and lively even with a high alcohol level. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2038. 250 cases made, 60 cases imported.
