94 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate"A terrific wine that harkens back to the 2016, the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers black cherries, blackberries and black olives, plus intriguing notes of garrigue. Full-bodied, rich and silky, it finishes long,...

91 points Wine Spectator"Silky-textured, with glossy red and black fruit. Gains shape from gently grippy tannins, while crushed iron details add savory dimension. This is flecked with tapenade and fresh black pepper. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre...

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...

91 points Wine Advocate"A blend of 70% Grenache Noir, 10% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre and 10% Cinsault, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Bel Ami from Guillaume Gonnet reveals a spicy bouquet of fresh thyme, licorice and dark wild berries. Medium to...

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,...

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...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"Also pure Southern Rhône goodness, the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes has classy notes of red and blue fruits, candied orange, flowers, peppery garrigue, and loads of Asian spices. Beautifully textured, silky,...
