100 points Stuart PIgott (JamesSuckling.com): "It's hard to wrap your head around how a red wine can have this enormous concentration and giant structure, yet be so refined and silky. Aromas of Damson plums, black raspberries and Amarena cherries exactly fill out the mouth-filling yet incredibly precise palate. Then comes the breathtaking finish that is as graceful as a great dancer who leaps effortlessly from one side of the stage to the other. From old vines in the Reynard site. 100% whole-cluster fermentation that starts as carbonic maceration, then a handful of punchdowns. Matured in large oak foudre casks. Drink or hold. (4/16/25)"
96-98 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Coming largely from the granite, south-facing soils of the Reynard lieu-dit and aged in used barrels, the 2022 Cornas Reynard reveals a beautiful array of red, blue, and black fruits, violets, spice, pepper, and orange zest. The class and purity here are something else, and it's medium to full-bodied, focused, and beautifully balanced, with fine tannins and remarkable elegance. This is a sensational Cornas in the making. (5/9/25)"
97 points Nicolas Greinacher (Vinous): "Dark and brooding, the majestic 2022 Cornas Reynard unfurls with prominent notes of cured meat, dried blackberry, pencil shavings, subtle cedar, and dried stems. On the full-bodied palate, it delivers beguiling intensity and concentration while remaining remarkably fresh and invigorating. Without question, the 2022 is the finest Cornas of the vintage, and this savoury beast is destined to age spectacularly. Bravo. Drink: 2030-2042."
96 points Yoahan Castaing (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Cornas Reynard is one of the wines of the vintage in Cornas. Revealing a deeper, more complex bouquet than Les Chaillots, with aromas of dark wild berries, spices, violet, flowers and mulberries, it's medium to full-bodied, enrobing and elegant, layered and concentrated with a fleshy core of fruit, a tense, energetic mid-palate and more refined tannins that segue into a long, ethereal and violet-inflected finish. Pure and crystalline, this is a young classic in the making. Drink: 2027-2042. (3/13/25)"
