2019

92 points Wine Enthusiast"From a terroir of black volcanic soil, this wine is beautifully balanced, ripe with orange and lemon zestiness. Poise comes from intense acidity allied to the crisp texture. Drink this vibrant organic wine now."

2 Stars Guide Hachette"Manual harvest, complete destemming and long aging in vats (16 months), everything has been thought of to create a complex wine that will keep well. The nose, still discreet and youthful, is tinged with scents of fresh blackberry,...

100 points Jeb Dunnuck"As always, the 2019 Côte Rôtie La Landonne is all Syrah that was not destemmed and will spend four years in new French oak. A wine with perfection written all over it, it's one of the most impressive barrel samples to...
