James Suckling: 95 Points
The deep nose of elderberries, wet earth and licorice pulls you into this full-bodied, concentrated but very elegant Chateauneuf. Very fine, focused tannins that counterpoint the juiciness on the mid-palate and drive the very long, bright and minerally finish. A grenache-based cuvee that is 60% from vineyards with galet cobblestones, 10% on sandy soils and the rest from limestone soil.
Wine Advocate: 92 Points
The 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape was just weeks from being bottled when I tasted it last summer. Cedar and vanilla notes accent black cherries in this medium to full-bodied assemblage of 60% Grenache, 31% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre and 1% other permitted varieties. It's moderately concentrated, with a silky mid-palate and a softly dusty finish, a solid effort for the vintage. Tasted twice (once blind), with consistent notes.
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
A robust, earthy version, this smolders with incense, tobacco and smoked plum flavors. Gains energy from fresh-cracked pepper and generous crushed iron accents, while tannins hold firm through the muscular close. Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Counoise, Muscardin, Vaccarèse and Cinsault.
Vinous: 90 Points
Ripe black fruits, licorice, cloves and wood smoke present the 2021 Chateauneuf duu Pape. Medium to full in body, the 2021 offers good concentration and freshness yet demands at least three more years in bottle to further integrate the grippy tannins. That said, there's enough substance to ensure positive development with extended bottle-aging.
