James Suckling

A remarkable 2021 Chateauneuf with fantastic balance between creamy richness and mineral freshness that enables it to feel way lighter than this full-bodied wine really is. Deep red fruit and subtle spice fill out the ample and well-structured palate, the fine tannins building very nicely at the long, complete finish. From the extreme west of Chateauneuf, where it grows on the galets-cobblestone soil. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
