93 points Decanter"Majoring on black pepper spice, damson and raspberry fruits, this is austere right now, with plenty of tannic heft. A wine that is going to age well but needs another five years in bottle to really open up. But there is juice...

95 points Jeb Dunnuck"Coming all from sedimentary soils on the eastern side of the hill and brought up in 20% new barrels, the 2016 Ermitage Les Dionnières is a gem in the lineup. Blackberries, currants, roasted herbs, cured meats, and spice notes...

92 points Wine Spectator“Fresh and nicely delineated, with bright star fruit, verbena, honeysuckle and white peach flavors that zip along, backed by good energy on the finish.” Vinous Reverie Notes100 % Marsanne. Soil. Slightly acid...

96 points Wine Advocate"The 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (400 cases produced) will be the last vintage of this cuvee. A fabulous wine fashioned from 50-100-year old vines (80% Grenache and the rest Syrah and Mourvedre), its dense purple color...

92 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"The 2011Pouilly- Fuisse V1gnes Blanches has a sl ghtly taciturn, tightly coiled fume nose that is well-defined but needs coaxing from the glass. The palate is brimming over with citrus peel, Light...

Vinous Reverie NotesAn utter respect for tradition, and in some ways a total break. Mounir and Rotem Saouma has slowly developed wines in Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and the results are extraordinary and distinct. It started with 5...

94 points Wine & Spirits"Weighted toward pinot noir (70 percent), this Champagne is powerfully structured with red fruit that pours out of the glass. With air, the wine’s mineral acidity turns frisky, the layered intensity of cèpes and...

98 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Boisrenard is a Grenache-dominated field blend (80%) that also includes 15 other varieties. Brought up all in foudre, it boasts a dense purple hue to go with a sensational, full-bodied,...

95 points James Suckling"I can’t remember a Haut-Batailley this tannic, yet the tannins are savory and very ripe with beauty and purity. Full-bodied, chewy tannins and a long and intense finish." 94 points Jeb Dunnuck"The flagship 2018...

100 points Jeb Dunnuck"Lastly, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Reserve is another magical wine, and I might have rated this cuvée a perfect score more than any other Southern Rhône. Unquestionably in the same realm as the 2017, 2016,...

96+ points Jeb DunnuckMore cassis, morello cherry, Asian spice, and a beautiful sense of minerality and loamy earth emerge from the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Trois Sources, a full-bodied, concentrated blend of 60% Grenache, 15% each of Cinsault...
