Guillaume Gonnet, 'Bel Ami' Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2020

92 points Wine Spectator
“Seductive and pure, with glossy boysenberry and red currant gliding through the round palate. Reveals graphite that lines the palate, with dried thyme and lavender adding lift. This is powered by snappy acidity, which keeps this from being heavy or flat. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and Cinsault. Drink now through 2035. 20,000 cases made, 10,000 cases imported.”

“As to the reds, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Bel Ami is terrific, with juicy red fruit (strawberries, raspberries), spring flowers, and sappy garrigue aromatics in its medium-bodied, beautifully balanced profile. I love its purity, it has fine tannins, and outstanding length. Drink this floral, complex 2020 over the coming decade. The blend is 70% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah, Mourvedre, and Cinsault.”
