Vinous (93-94)
(aged in new demi-muids for a year) Bright purple. A complex, expansive bouquet evokes ripe black and blue fruits, Indian spices, vanilla and olive paste, while an intense mineral overtone adds urgency and lift. In a sappy, penetrating style, showing real depth but vivacity as well. Sweet blueberry, cherry compote and spicecake flavors reveal a core of juicy acidity and pick up a smoky note on the back half. Lingers with outstanding tenacity on the finish, which features supple tannins and a hint of candied licorice.Inc. TAX€1,129.87 -
Decanter (96)
Glass-staining purple colour. Incredibly powerful with searching perfume, leaf tea and glove leather behind the intense black fruits. Very fine and deep, perhaps just a touch too high in alcohol, a little overextracted. Phenomenal concentration and length however. A growling, brooding power, this could only be Hermitage. From vines of nearly 50 years of age grown organically on lieux-dits Beaumes and Péléat, matured in demi-muids with malolactic fermentation in barrel.Inc. TAX€518.14 -
Vinous (94)
Translucent yellow. A powerful, highly perfumed bouquet evokes fresh orchard, pit fruits, succulent herbs and pungent flowers, along with a building mineral element. Stains the palate with juicy pear, nectarine and Meyer lemon flavors that are sharpened by a gingery flourish. Shows excellent clarity on a very long, penetrating finish that echoes the floral and mineral notes.Inc. TAX€179.03 -

(6x75cl) 2022Wine Advocate (96)
While Elsa Gangloff declined my request to taste at the property, arguing that all the wines were already sold, I was able to acquire a bottle of 2022 Cote Rotie la Sereine Noire. Upon initial encounter, the wine appears introverted and shy but gradually reveals complex aromas of black olive, pepper, coniferous forest, bay leaf and dark berries, all enhanced by hints of smoke. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and deep, it's layered and generously extracted, energetic and lively, framed by structured tannins that assert themselves to a long, mineral and pencil lead-inflicted finish. This is a rather deep, seamless wine that needs time to chill out.Inc. TAX€1,786.49

Chateauneuf du Pape, in the Rhone, pioneered the Appellation Controlee system by drawing up the first rules in 1923 regulating production, providing a prototype for others. This regulated yields, alcohol levels and what grapes could be grown where. The Rhone has gone through a resurgence with more of its appellations distinctive identities being asserted and respected.
