93pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The rich, velvety 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape features scents of garrigue and black cherries. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety in texture, with a long finish. It looks to be an excellent vintage for this cuvée.
Barrel Sample: 91-93

93pts James Suckling

A beautifully rounded Chateauneuf with plenty of black and red berry aromas wrapped around a core of fine tannins. Delicate spices and a touch of candied citrus peel expand as the wine aerates. Good length in the silky finish. With this balance and freshness, the wine should age very well. Drink or hold.

Dried herbs, ripe strawberry and licorice introduce the 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Almost equally as forward and flamboyant as the delicious 2019, the 2020 is a supple and concentrated red that’s built for the long haul. It offers good length on the savory conclusion.

92pts Jeb Dunnuck

Beautiful red and black cherry fruit, spice, and peppery garrigue notes all emerge from the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape, which is based on 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and 5% other varieties. Medium-bodied, supple, and elegant, with good balance and texture, it spent 36 months in large oak foudres.

Winemaker Notes

Spice notes in the nose precede a complex, powerful palate with round tannins. It's an unctuous wine, harmonious and balanced, with notes of mature plums and hazelnuts.
