2023 M. Chapoutier Les Meysonniers Rouge

Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, December 2025

“Round and mouthfilling yet not heavy, this offers a mix of meaty notes and red fruit flanked by dusty red earth and bacon lard. The tannins are finely polished, for a ripe, chewy profile, with a subtle tug of tar, which adds to the brooding density. Very solid. Drink now through 2033. 200 cases imported”

2023 M. Chapoutier Les Meysonniers Rouge

Decanter, September 2025

“Fans of Rhône Syrah will no doubt be familiar with this textbook red. Mixed vintage conditions have given this expression a light touch with more elegance than recent years, it showcases classic notes of lifted violet and dried herbs opening into spiced dark plum and grilled meat flavours, all tied together with the silkiest tannins.”

2023 M. Chapoutier Les Meysonniers Rouge

Michael Apstein, Wine Review Online, December 2025

“Chapoutier, one of the top Rhône producers, consistently makes a winsome Crozes-Hermitage, from the generally flatter and larger appellation surrounding the exalted Hermitage hill. Their Syrah-based, mid-weight 2023 Les Meysonniers, made from organically grown grapes, displays fresh and lively red fruit notes overlain with peppery nuances. Mild tannins make it an easy choice for current drinking with wintertime fare.”

2024 M. Chapoutier Belleruche Rosé

Kyle Swartz, Beverage Dynamics, June 2025

“Based mostly on grenache, the brilliant salmon-pink wine showcases bright and clean red fruit on the nose and palate. Dancing on the palate, the balance of fruit and acidity makes for a very pleasurable drinking experience.”

2022 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Blanc

Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, December 2025

“A beautiful, big-personality white, with a gorgeous, concentrated stream of chamomile, green herbs, zesty peach skin and pear, all energized by pink grapefruit acidity. Savory, long and humming with mineral energy, this stretches way out, showing freshness and appeal. Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, Clairette and Roussanne. Drink now through 2030. 200 cases imported.”

Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, March 2024

“Glossy and stylish, with a fresh profile of green apple and lime zest. Gains zesty character through the unadorned finish, courtesy of crushed mineral details, with impressive integration and focus overall. Grenache Blanc, Grenache Gris, Clairette and Roussanne.

2022 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge

Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, December 2025

“Softened plum and wild berry notes share the stage with herbs and savory power. Brown bread, toasted anise and juniper merge in on the harmonious palate, with all of the elements firing in sync. The beautiful texture -- mostly glossy, with a hint of chewy meatiness -- and chalk-fine tannins hold a gentle grip as grilled sandalwood smoke closes out. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2030. 600 cases imported.”

2021 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge

Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, March 2025

“Shows some weight for the cooler vintage, with toasted aniseed and white pepper overlaying a solid core of red fruit. Notes of leather and tobacco leaf have moved in, with a hint of pleasing chewiness on the finish, which is salty and graphite-rich. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2030. 500 cases imported.”

2020 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge

Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, March 2024

“This sultry red offers high-toned and very pure flavors of fresh raspberry, linzer torte and cherry licorice, gilded with grilled herbs, bacon and smoked apple wood. Edged in iron, the tannins are suave but still keep their shape. Orange peel acidity also brings nice lift to the ripe profile. Grenache and Syrah. Drink now through 2035. 500 cases imported.”

2019 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge

Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2024

“The 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape la Bernardine—Chapoutier's négociant wine from this appellation—is an assemblage of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre, from a mix of soil types. Aged predominantly in concrete, with a small amount in demi-muids of 20 hectoliters, there's a hint of almond on the nose, alongside ripe cherries. Smooth and silky, this full-bodied wine is expansive and supple on the palate, a solid effort.”

“99 POINTS This opens beautifully on the nose, with strawberries, cherries and some flint, terra cotta, peaches and orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that are ready. The consistency and length are so beautiful. You can drink this now, but it will age for decades and always satisfy. Available in January 2025. Try on release, but it’s going to be much better in three or four years.”

2019 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche

James Suckling, James Suckling, June 2023

“Gorgeous aromas of roses that fill the glass along with ripe strawberries, raspberries and forest fruits. Very structured and right with finely toned tannins that are tight, sleek and racy. One for the cellar. Try after 2028.”

2019 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche

Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, August 2023

“With the white label, the 2019 Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche is a generous and expansive wine that hits the palate from all sides. It offers lingering sensations of sweet fruit with a good amount of intensity and muscle power pushing from behind. That forward momentum is fueled by dark fruit, rusty earth, wet clay and blood orange. It shows elegance, substance and finely tuned tones with considerable tension and tightness. This is another bottle to rest at the back of your cellar.”

2024 Bruno Giacosa Roero Arneis

Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, April 2026

“Pouring a bright silver/yellow hue, the 2024 Roero Arneis is immediately appealing. Aromatically, it offers white peach, melon, chive, fresh basil, and wet stone. On the palate, it’s medium-bodied and light on its feet, with a clean, refreshing feel that favors drinkability over weight. This is straightforward, well-made, and highly approachable while it remains fresh”

2017 Bruno Giacosa Barolo Falletto Vigna Le Rocche Riserva

James Suckling, James Suckling, June 2023

“Roses and lavender with other flowers. Peaches. Glorious fruit of dark plums and ripe strawberries. This is dense and intense but there are layers of very fine tannins, like fine cashmere. Goes on for minutes. Opens in the mouth. Almost endless. Three years in cask and two years in bottle before January 2023 release. Give this at least five to six years.”

2020 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Asili Riserva

Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator, February 2026

“Macerated cherry and raspberry flavors combine with black pepper, menthol and iron notes in this elegant yet well-structured version. Well-endowed tannins define the finish, putting the brakes on the fruity and savory elements for now. The long, vigorous aftertaste reveals this red’s potential. ”

2023 Bruno Giacosa Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore

Michaela Morris, Decanter, November 2025

“Made from old vines up to 70-years old, this exquisite Nebbiolo boasts a sumptuous nose of red cherry, strawberry and red plum. A flood of dark florals fills the mouth, perfuming the pristine, fleshy fruit. Suede-like tannins are fine grained with an elegant verticality, stealthy in power yet never overstepping their boundary. Sweet spice nuances of cinnamon and mace lead to an earthy finish redolent of truffles. Part of the vineyard was hit by the vicious summer hailstorm in 2023, so only 7,200 bottles (rather than the usual 11,000) were produced.”
