95 points Wine Advocate"Mainly Mourvedre, with bits of Grenache and Syrah, this estate's 2018 Bandol offers up profound notes of plummy fruit and cola-like spices. Full bodied, deep and rich, this is lovely stuff, overflowing with black cherries and...

92 points Wine Advocate"Mainly Clairette and Roussanne, with smaller amounts of Grenache Blanc and Viognier, the 2022 Vacqueyras Le Chemin Blanc may be the finest vintage of this cuvée to date. Notes of ripe pear, apricot and peach abound on the...

92 points Wine Spectator"Delivers a nice saturated feel without being heavy, letting cherry and plum paste notes unfurl slowly, along with violet, licorice root and warm humus accents, which all blossom continuously through the savory finish. Grenache,...

96 points Jeb Dunnuck"A big, ripe, opulent, and sexy white, the 2021 Hermitage Blanc has honeyed orchard and quince-like fruit, medium to full body, some acacia flower and spicy nuances, a layered, decadent mouthfeel, and that rare mix of freshness and...

93 points Jeb Dunnuck"Gorgeous quince, honeyed flowers, spice, and some classy, savory herb notes all emerge from the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Vieilles Vignes Blanc, a round, supple, layered Crozes that has beautiful purity and precision while staying rich...

96 points Wine Spectator"Elegant and approachable, this stunning red offers seductive aromatics of smoked incense and red tea, with floral high notes, followed by a well of cassis, licorice and red currant flavors coated in graphite. Dusty in feel, with...

98+ points Jeb Dunnuck"On another level, the 2019 Ermitage Ex Voto Blanc is more reductive and tight, with a brilliant, concentrated, full-bodied, layered profile on the palate. White currants, quinces, scorched earth, and charcoal all define this...

91 points Vinous"Ruby-red. Aromas of ripe red and dark berries, pungent flowers and smoky minerals and a hint of "garrigue' in the background. Juicy, supple and concentrated, offering energetic black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors supported by tangy...

97 points Decanter"Citrusy and grapefruit-led thanks to the Bourboulenc. Touch of anise, touch of fennel, lovely acidity and freshness, with a gentle saline line. Generous but only just full-bodied, this shows liveliness and more depth than many white...

97 points James Suckling"This great Chateauneuf combines the richness of the vintage with remarkable precision and vitality. Stacks of ripe damson plum, licorice and candied orange. Great tannin structure and lots of power on the full-bodied palate, with...

92 points Decanter"Fresh fennel and gently floral aromas. This has a rounded, oval shape in the mouth, like a marble pebble. Very smooth and polished, but not oaky. Plenty of intensity of flavour, it’s concentrated and long – way better than...

93 points James Suckling"I love the precise balance of full southerly ripeness with a touch of northerly freshness. Stacks of fully ripe red fruit aromas and remarkably fine tannins for this appellation make this stand out in the crowd. Long, complex,...
