2020

94 points Falstaff"Medium yellow green, silver reflections. Delicately smoky-reductive, nuances of hazelnut, flint and lime zest, a background of white peach, mineral touch. Juicy, elegant, fresh apple, a tight-knit, lively structure with a salty finish,...

91 points Wine Enthusiast"This white shows lovely precision, with a beautiful aroma of verbena backed by racy hints of flint, chive, straw and gooseberry notes. The finish is long and inviting, turning a bit tropical, luring you in for more."

99 points James Suckling"Bbeautifully layered red with blackcurrant, hazelnut and lead-pencil character and fine, velvety tannins. Full-bodied and reserved. It’s like a tightly knit ball of polished tannins that are cashmere in texture. So very...

97 points Jeb Dunnuck"Quite possibly the finest vintage of this cuvée I've tasted, the 2020 Château Canon-La-Gaffelière offers that rare mix of richness and elegance that makes this vintage so compelling. Classic notes of cassis, ripe...

96 points James Suckling"Intense nose with orange rind, savory salted plums, cloves and minerals here with a touch of mussel shell and white pepper. Juicy and powerful with a full body and tightly wound tannins that resolve smoothly into a rich but fine...

94 Jeb Dunnuck"Based on Grenache, Carignan, and Syrah, the 2020 Côtes Du Roussillon Villages Compartir is another deep purple-hued release from this château revealing a great nose of both cassis and darker berry-like fruit as well as spice,...

100 points Decanter"Intense and full on the nose, fragrant with ripe black fruit, floral aspects and soft spicing. Round and full on the palate, it's rich and muscular yet tight and neatly coiled with a liquorice, graphite, pepper, cinnamon and clove...

95 points Wine Advocate"Chiefly (90%) from Les Plantiers—a little-known lieu-dit toward the western base of the slope—with about 10% Les Bessards, Sorrel`s 2020 Hermitage looks like its customary supple, silky self, with masses of raspberry...

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...

93 points Vinous"The 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Hauts-Jarrons 1er Cru comes from a single parcel, just under a hectare in size. It has a well-defined bouquet with mulberry, briary and light loamy aromas. The palate has more density and body than the...

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...

97 points Decanter"Beckoning nose of dark fruits, spice and judicious oak. The palate has a silky texture and a firm, dryish finish. This is a stellar young wine with outstanding concentration (for the price) and massive tannins tucked neatly into juicy...
