Unreal, as usual. Beautiful purity, elegance and balance. Consistently excellent.

Jun 20th, 2026Needed about 90 minutes to fully wake up, but once it did, wow. The nose turned beautifully Northern Rhône: black olive, black pepper, smoked meat, dark fruit. Palate is sappy, meaty, and full of that old-vine granite intensity this cuvée always carries so well. Big tannins, but ripe and beautifully balanced by the fruit and texture. At 12.5%, this has incredible energy and purity. Feels like 2016 crossed with 2021 in the best possible way. Spectacular wine and a huge sign for the potential of 2024 Northern Rhône.
