M. Chapoutier Ermitage "L'Ermite" Blanc Hermitage 2017
100
Wine Advocate
(10/31/2018) "As in 2016, my favorite of the white parcel selections this year is the 2017 Ermitage l'Ermite Blanc (231 cases produced), as it perfectly balances richness and power with refinement and structure. Toasted brioche and citrus marmalade, honey and truffle notes deliver sheer full-bodied, mouth-filling decadence, supported by austere notes of crushed granite, zesty grapefruit rind and cooling brine. Huge and intense yet refreshing, it's the essence of granite-grown Marsanne. Drink Date: 2018 - 2040"

M. Chapoutier Ermitage "L'Ermite" Rouge Hermitage 2017
100
Wine Advocate
(12/19/2019) "The 2017 Ermitage l'Ermite is equally astounding but a completely different expression of Hermitage. Somehow this combines the reservedness of le Pavillon with the generosity of le Méal, resulting in a wine that I can only describe as perfect. The pristine cassis fruit is remarkably pure, joined by complex notes of crushed stone, salted licorice and the slightest hints of fine-grained oak. It's full-bodied, concentrated and velvety in texture, with oodles of chewy but ripe tannins and a finish that goes on for minutes.Drink Date: 2025 - 2045"

Clos St Jean "La Combe des Fous" Chateauneuf du Pape 2017

Jeb Dunnuck
(8/17/2019) "The 2017 Chateauneuf Du Pape La Combe Des Fous checks in as a normal blend of 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest Vaccarese and Cinsault, raised in tank and demi-muids. Kirsch liqueur, white flowers, graphite, ground pepper, and obvious minerality all emerge from this ethereal yet powerful, concentrated 2017. It's very much in the more Provencal, elegant style of this vintage, yet has classic Clos Saint Jean purity, style, and power. It's a gorgeous wine. Maturity: 2019 - 2037"

Domaine Vincent Paris "La Geynale" Cornas 2013

Vinous, Josh Raynolds

Wine Advocate
(11/18/2015) "As normal, the 2013 Cornas la Geynale is the most structured, tannic and age-worthy in the lineup. Coming from the Geynale and Reynard lieux-dits, and fermented with 100% whole clusters, it spent 18 months all in two- to eight-year-old barrels. Its inky purple, mostly opaque color gives way to masculine (classic Cornas!) notes of crushed rocks, charcoal, wood smoke and plums. Big, medium to full-bodied, nicely concentrated and with plenty of tannin, it needs 2-4 years of cellaring and will drink well for a decade after that."

Domaine Guy Farge "Reynard" Cornas 2018

Wine Advocate

Decanter
(9/30/2019) "This is full of energy, very concentrated, vibrant and intense. It has mouthcoating, fully ripe berry fruit with tannins that are like tiny teeth, they really sink in and grip you like a terrier. It's powerful, focussed and very long with vibrancy, freshness, intensity and texture, coupled with a deeply saline and mineral drive. The oak isn't excessive, it's required, making it deeply spicy, peppery and expressive. From 30-year-old vines in the granitic quarter of Les Reynards, planted at 6,000 vines per hectare, yielding 20hl/ha. No destemming, fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged for a year in new 400l barrels. Drinking Window 2022 - 2035."

Domaine de la Vieille Julienne "Les Haut Lieux" Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2018
97
Jeb Dunnuck
(10/6/2020) "Including slightly more Mourvedre and from a cooler, higher elevation terroir, the 2018 Chateauneuf Du Pape Les Hauts-Lieux has more cassis, game, peppery herbs, and olive notes, as well as the classic violets and black licorice nuances that always seem to be present in the wines from this estate. Possessing full-bodied richness, an ethereal, seamless texture, ultra-fine tannins, and nicely integrated acidity, it's a more structured wine compared to the Les Trois Sources and will benefit from 2-3 years of bottle age and evolve for 15 years or more. It's every bit as good as the Reserve cuvee in 2018. Maturity: 2020 - 2035."

(8/28/2018) "Moving to the Chateauneuf-du-Pape from bottle, the 2016 vintage was described as having the power of 2010 and similar to yet fresher than 2007. The 2016 Chateauneuf-du-Pape offers a great bouquet of black raspberries, tapenade, crushed violets, and spring flowers, and shares lots of similarities to the Chaupin cuvee (and it's less expensive!). Full-bodied, incredibly elegant and seamless, it might be the finest traditional cuvee ever produced from this estate."

Marie et Pierre Benetiere Condrieu 2013
92
Vinous, Josh Raynolds
(7/2017) "Pale gold. Intense, mineral-laced aromas of fresh peach, pear skin, tarragon and white flowers pick up a smoky nuance with air. Concentrated and juicy in style, offering sappy white peach, pear nectar and honey flavors enlivened by nervy mineral and ginger nuances. Finishes on a stony note, showing excellent persistence and lingering suggestions of orange pith and dried pear. The interplay of power and vivacity here is pretty impressive."

Chateau Pesquie "Cuvee Ascensio" Ventoux Rouge 2015

Jeb Dunnuck
(10/19/2017) "Another new cuvee from this family estate is the 2015 Ventoux Cuvee Ascensio which is mostly Grenache brought up in concrete tanks. This inky colored beauty is a tour de force from the Ventoux and offers smoking good notes of blackberries, currants, smoked earth, lavender, and pepper. Deep, full-bodied and opulent, give bottles 2-4 years of cellaring and enjoy through 2028."

Xavier Vignon "Ange" Chateauneuf du Pape 2001

(8/16/2019) "Blended in 2010 and bottle in 2019, aged in barrels always submerged in wine, the 2001 Chateauneuf Du Pape Ange sports a still youthful ruby color as well as a beautiful bouquet of cured meats, ground pepper, tobacco, white truffle, and spice. Rich, medium to full-bodied, and beautifully textured, it's multi-dimensional, layered, and elegant, with a Bonneau-like complexity and style. This is a thrilling wine."
