Jancis Robinson"Full bottle 1,330 g. Certified Ecocert organic. Blend of mostly Grenache Blanc/Grenache Gris and Roussanne, with some Macabeu.It's so distinctive. Yet it smells of almost nothing – maybe of daylight. This wine smells like grey...

90 points Wine Spectator"A generous red, brimming with ripe brambly fruit and ripe cherry flavors, infused with licorice, orange peel and floral accents. Elements of garrigue, spice and cured meat linger along the finish. Carignan, Syrah and Grenache...

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,...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Les Hautes Brusquières (60/40 Grenache and Syrah) comes from a cooler terroir near the Mount Redon plateau and was brought up in oak tronconique tanks and demi-muids. Its dense...
