97 points Jeb Dunnuck"Quite possibly the finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted, the 2020 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière offers that rare mix of richness and elegance that makes this vintage so compelling. Classic notes of cassis, ripe...

94 points Wine Enthusiast"A tight, young wine with tannins and structure still firmly intact, this offers great potential. It has smoky richness, with black fruits in the background ready to move forward. It shows weight, density and needs to age for...

95 points Wine Advocate"Chiefly (90%) from Les Plantiers—a little-known lieu-dit toward the western base of the slope—with about 10% Les Bessards, Sorrel`s 2020 Hermitage looks like its customary supple, silky self, with masses of raspberry...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2020 Hermitage Les Rocoules Blanc brings more richness and depth, with a similar quince, honeysuckle, green almond, and brioche-driven bouquet. It's a powerhouse on the palate and is full-bodied, deep, opulent, and viscous, with...

96 points Decanter"Good sense of weight, volume and depth here. The acidity is marked and nicely integrated, as is the alcohol and the oak for that matter - a harmonious, though certainly a sizeable and mighty wine. Concentrated, intense and long, with a...

94+ Jeb Dunnuck"Clearly from a better vintage, the 2020 Hermitage Le Vignon Vieilles Vignes sports a deeper purple hue to go with ripe, powerful aromatics of smoked black and blue fruits, smoked game, violets, and pepper. Medium to full-bodied, it has a...

95 points James Suckling"So much candied citrus, angelica, dried sage and thyme in the nose! However, this compact and highly structured Alsace Grand Cru dry riesling is still very youthful and really needs a lot of aeration (decanting and big glasses!)...

96 points Jasper Morris"There will be no En la Richarde Folatières from Héritiers Louis Jadot this year, but this bottling is superb. A little more toastiness on the nose. This builds beautifully to the back of the palate, showing an...

95 points Jasper Morris"Clear mid yellow. So much energy here too. An impressively racy quality with plenty of weight, very Charmes in character, strong fruit, and then a crunch of acidity. A little saline touch yet also some of the more exotic side...

94 points Allen Meadows, Burghound"Soft notes of wood frame cool, pure and sauvage-inflected red and dark berry fruit and warm earth nuances. The dense, attractively rich and vibrant middleweight flavors possess fine detail on the balanced, precise and...

93 points Allen Meadows, Burghound"The wood treatment is a bit more prominent on the spicy red and dark berry aromas that flash plenty of earth and sauvage nuances. There is a bit more verve to the big-bodied, intense and muscular flavors that exude...

98 points Wine Enthusiast"This is a ripe and structured wine that has a dense structure and concentrated blackberry fruit, yet it still shows the freshness typical of the vintage. It has an excellent long-term aging potential."97+ points Jeb...
