94 points Matt Walls (Decanter): "Full-bodied, generous, powerful and concentrated, despite the notable oak regime the fruit is to the fore. There's a touch of dryness on the tip of the tongue from the oak, but this is bombastic and flamboyant, for lovers of a big style of white Châteauneuf. Grown on galets roulés and sand, fermented then aged for eight months in new oak barriques. 4,000 bottles made. Drinking Window: 2023-2030. (Sep 2021)"
93 points James Suckling: "The intense smoked nuts character of this full-bodied white Chateauneuf-du-Pape makes it stand out. Serious weight and richness here, but they’re typical for the roussanne grape. A citrus freshness keeps it on the straight and narrow at the long finish. From Demeter-certified biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (11/4/21)"
