2020 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Rabajà
James Suckling, James Suckling, June 2023
“#4 in Top 100 Wines of Italy Wow. The purity of fruit and sophistication is out of this world. Peaches, strawberries, bright plums and berries. Full-bodied yet compacted. The tannin structure is there but you don’t see it. It’s tight and resolved with perfect balance and length. A masterpiece. So emotional to taste this. Made from half a hectare. 3,500 bottles made. January 2024 release.”

#14 Top 100 Wines of Italy
2021 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco Rabajà
James Suckling, James Suckling, August 2024
“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.”

2023 Bruno Giacosa Nebbiolo d'Alba Vigna Valmaggiore
Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, April 2026
“The 2023 Nebbiolo d’Alba Valmaggiore pours a bright ruby color and immediately delivers a lifted perfume of cinnamon, anise, preserved cranberries, and wildflowers. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, refreshing acidity, and balanced length, offering more complexity than its category might suggest. This should not be mistaken for a simple entry-level Nebbiolo.”

2020 M. Chapoutier Les Bécasses
Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2024
“Sourced from numerous lieux-dits, the 2020 Cote Rotie les Bécasses features generous aromas of cedar, vanilla, mulberries and blueberries. It's medium to full-bodied, not overdone or overripe at all, with a fine line of acidity, crisp berry flavors and a taut, streamlined fee.”

2022 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge
Jeb Dunnuck, Jeb Dunnuck, November 2025
“Kirsch, black cherries, spicy garrigue, and sappy flower-like aromatics all shine in the 2023 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Bernardine, based on 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 5% Mourvèdre. I love its vibrancy, purity, and complexity. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, and seamless on the palate, it pushes on the ripeness scale yet holds it together with velvety tannins, ample mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. Drink bottles over the coming 8-10 years. Drink 2025-2034.”

2022 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge
Yohan Castaing, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, September 2024
“The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape la Bernardine, a blend of Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre and Syrah in unknown proportions, offers up aromas of cardamom, garrigue, spices and pepper. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and generously extracted, with plenty of youthfully chewy tannins, it's framed by a muscular, rather dense palate with a firm, slightly dry finish.”

2022 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge
James Suckling, James Suckling, April 2025
“A succulent, well-balanced and fine-tuned red with notes of red berries, wild herbs, meat and some baking spices as well. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine, ripe tannins. Well-driven and structured but in control, with an long, intense and flavorful finish. Drink from 2027”

2021 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge
James Suckling, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2024
“Composed of 80% Grenache, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre, Chapoutier's blended 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape la Bernardine comes together later than the estate bottlings, so it was still in tank during my summer visit. Scents of dusty earth and fresh-turned loam are complemented by hints of ripe cherries and black olives. It's medium to full-bodied in the mouth, showing decent concentration and silky tannins, with hints of raspberries and dried spices on the soft, easy-drinking finish.””

2021 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge
James Suckling, James Suckling, April 2024
“A textural, refined and velvety Chateauneuf-du-Pape with aromas of forest berries, wet stones, roasted meat, wild herbs and some bark. It’s medium- to full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. There is a refined texture here, silky at the center, with a delicate core of dark cherries challenged by an intense array of spices that provide verve and energy. Lively and focused finish with length. Try after 2026.”

2021 M. Chapoutier La Bernardine Rouge
Jeb Dunnuck, Jeb Dunnuck, November 2022
“Moving to the Chteauneufs, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Bernardine (75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre) has a supple, elegant, medium-bodied style as well as attractive notes of both red and blue fruits, pepper, and Provençal garrigue. With supple tannins, a layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length, it's clearly a rock-solid bottle of wine that will drink nicely right out of the gate.”
