91 points Jeb Dunnuck"Mostly Clairette, the 2022 Ventoux Les Ribes Du Vallat Blanc has some pear and apple-laced fruit to go with beautiful sappy herbal, floral, and mineral aromas and flavors. Balanced, medium-bodied, vibrant, and fresh, it's a...

93 points Wine Enthusiast"Just below Les Rugiens and close to the village, this vineyard has produced a soft style for a Pommard. It emphasizes richness as much as structure, with full-bodied black fruits and a juicy aftertaste. Tannins show at the end,...

90 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2021 Rasteau Les Coteaux brings a touch more density and depth. A similar blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, aged 12 months in concrete tank, it has a beautiful elegance about it as well as medium-bodied aromas and flavors of...

93 points Jeb Dunnuck"From the oldest Grenache vines of the estate (planted in 1924), the 2021 Rasteau Héritage 1924 reveals a semi-opaque ruby hue as well as a gorgeous perfume of black raspberries, spring flowers, and Provençal spice...

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...

95 points Wine Spectator"This has good concentration and energy to the dense core of dark fruit and bitter cherry, with great poise and elegance despite its ripeness (an impressive feat for the vintage). Guided by finely crushed mineral accents and...

92 points Wine Enthusiast"From 70-year-old vines, this wine has ripe, concentrated fruits to go with the black tannins and density. Plenty of structure balances the acidity, while short wood aging has given smoothness. Drink from 2023." Vinous Reverie...

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...

98+ points Wine Advocate"The beautifully proportioned 2018 Hermitage La Chapelle comes across as a complex, complete version of this renowned bottling, with no rough edges—just moderate spice, cassis, red berries and cedar on the nose. It's medium...
