2021 M. Chapoutier Le Méal Blanc

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

“Kicking off with notes of toasted grain and honeyed citrus, the 2021 Ermitage le Méal Blanc has lots going on, adding exotic stone fruit and pineapple. It's medium to full-bodied, fleshy and ripe, then turns a bit austere on the dry, chalky finish. While it lacks the overall harmony and elegance of the De l'Oree this vintage, it's still pretty compelling stuff.”

2019 M. Chapoutier Croix de Bois

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

“All Grenache from a classic clay-and-galets site on the eastern side of the appellation, Chapoutier's 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois is a bigger, more rugged expression of Grenache than the more elegant Barbe Rac. Bold black cherry and licorice notes lead the way in this full-bodied, rich, velvety wine that should drink well for at least a decade”

2021 M. Chapoutier Le Clos Rouge

James Suckling, James Suckling, May 2024

“A superb Saint-Joseph, focused, vibrant and pure. It expresses notes of wild berries, dried flowers, raw chocolate, peppercorns, crushed stones and hints of roasted meat. It is medium-bodied with finely grained tannins. There is plenty of energy and drive, with bright acidity. The vertical dimension in this wine is obvious, with a dense and comforting core of berries and a mineral-driven, laser-focused finish with length. Drink or hold.”

2021 M. Chapoutier Barbe Rac

Stuart Pigott, James Suckling, April 2024

“A remarkable 2021 Chateauneuf with fantastic balance between creamy richness and mineral freshness that enables it to feel way lighter than this full-bodied wine really is. Deep red fruit and subtle spice fill out the ample and well-structured palate, the fine tannins building very nicely at the long, complete finish. From the extreme west of Chateauneuf, where it grows on the galets-cobblestone soil. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.””

2021 Isole e Olena 'Cepparello' Toscana IGT

James Button, Decanter, February 2026

“Cepparello 2021 is Paolo De Marchi's swansong vintage – and he's gone out on a high. Vibrant and vertical, tangy and bright, it introduces a complexity of fresh, sour and dried cherries with some peppery spice. This more poised, fresh and balanced direction is becoming a signature of the region's best wines and – just as in the years after he took over from his father's winery in 1976 – Paolo has demonstrated that he is still in the vanguard.”

2020 M. Chapoutier Monier de la Sizeranne

Stuart Pigott, James Suckling, May 2023

“An excellent Hermitage with the imposing structure we expect from this appellation, but also excellent balance. Stacks of elderberry and pepper, and also a touch of leather. So much depth and expression, but not a jot overbearing or heavy. In spite of the serious tannins at the finish there are wonderful flashes of red and black berry fruit. From blocks with granitic and sedimentary soils. Some whole bunch. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.”

2021 M. Chapoutier Les Granilites Blanc

Stuart Pigott, James Suckling, May 2023

“Here’s a white St. Joseph that has the minerality we associate with this appellation in excess! Sleek, focused and concentrated with a very stony personality. The fresh and candied citrus aromas are just beginning to open up. Extremely long, filigree finish. Great aging potential. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.”

2020 M. Chapoutier Le Clos Rouge

Stuart Pigott, James Suckling, May 2023

“Lots of smoke and smoked bacon character in the nose, but also the blackest forest berries and a whiff of tar. Concentrated, compact and cool with a wonderful wild herb freshness and a pretty radical stony minerality. Then you come back and find violets and licorice. As the wine aerates the minerality gets more and more intense. From an east-facing parcel with granitic soil. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.”

2020 M. Chapoutier Quatuor

James Suckling, James Suckling, May 2023

“A beautifully floral nose with red cherries, roses, violets, smoke and some cured meat. Medium body with finely grained tannins. Velvety and harmonious texture with a delicate core of berries and herbs. Pure and transparent. Layered, succulent and well-balanced, with bright acidity and a lively peppery finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.”

2019 M. Chapoutier Monier de la Sizeranne

James Suckling, James Suckling, February 2022

“At once rich and fleshy, but also deeply and firmly structured, this Hermitage has a ton of smoke, leather and animal aromas. With some aeration a balsamic note emerges. Dense, inky finish, but in a very positive way. Excellent balance and vitality that suggests it has long aging potential. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.”

2020 M. Chapoutier De L’Orée Blanc

Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2022

“A superbly balanced example of this selection, the 2020 Ermitage de l'Orée—sourced from the clay soils of Les Murets—features scents of crushed stone, toasted grain, white peach and ripe melon. Showing no ill effects from its recent bottling at the beginning of September, it's full-bodied, silky and elegant, with a long, harmonious finish.”

2019 M. Chapoutier Neve

Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, January 2022

“A dark and brooding Côte-Rôtie, with black fruit and violet emerging from a background of charred mesquite, singed wild herbs, bitter dark chocolate and smoked meat. Needs time in the cellar to fully express its potential. Best from 2025 through 2035. 5 cases imported.”

2019 M. Chapoutier Le Clos Rouge

Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, January 2022

“This dense, muscular wine shows a stunning, tightly coiled mélange of blackberry confit, red currant and earth punctuated by white pepper and charred alder. Reveals notes of clove and crushed herbs with time in glass, but this needs years before it fully expresses its full potential. Best from 2025 through 2035. 5 cases imported.”

2019 M. Chapoutier Monier de la Sizeranne

James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, January 2022

“Delivers a lovely core of açaí berry, plum and blackberry fruit flavors coated with bittersweet cocoa and carried by a long, loamy spine. The finish is underscored by tobacco and alder accents as the fruit sails through. Best from 2024 through 2038. 75 cases imported.”

2022 M. Chapoutier Barbe Rac

Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, October 2025

“An elegant, glossy style, with a lighter, less-extracted profile to its red currant, dried strawberry and bright cherry notes, underscored by warm soil, soy sauce and garrigue, plus warm spice and pepper details. Streams through with fresh, deftly polished tannins and chalky mineral elements lining the long, complex finish. Beguiling, perfumed and complex. Drink now through 2038.”

“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.”

2012 Rare Millésimé Rosé

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, September 2024

“A wonderfully balanced Champagne, this is so poised between red fruits and tight acidity. It is only just mature, with fruit freshness still very present. It can be drunk now for its fruit or, better, wait a year or two to bring in mature complexity.”

2021 M. Chapoutier Barbe Rac

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

“A terrific success given the challenges of the vintage, Chapoutier's 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Barbe Rac—all Grenache, made without any oak—showcases cherries and raspberries, a delicate, silky feel and decent length and concentration. Fruit-forward and elegant, it's definitely one 2021 not to turn up your nose at—just don't expect to age it for more than about a decade”

2022 M. Chapoutier Sicamor

Stuart Pigott, James Suckling, May 2024

““Black pepper on the nose with raw meat and elderberry undertones. A fundamentally firm wine that is only medium-bodied, but makes a very bold statement and has excellent potential for long aging. Radically dark and exciting finish. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.””
