2018 Piper-Heidsieck Vintage Brut
Claire Nesbitt, James Suckling, July 2024
“Quince and linden, tarte tatin and gunpowder. Firm acidity on the palate with fine mousse, medium body and a chewy finish with tension. It will develop more complexity with time, but ready to drink”

2020 M. Chapoutier Sicamor
Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2024
“A blend of several estate vineyards adjoining Hermitage, the 2020 Crozes-Hermitage Sicamor includes fruit from Varonnières (west of les Bessards), les Chassis and one other parcel. Pencil shavings accent intense boysenberry, mulberry and black cherry fruit on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, rich, even lush, with hints of licorice on the long, silky finish.”

2020 M. Chapoutier Monier de la Sizeranne
Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, May 2024
“The 2020 Hermitage Monier de la Sizeranne is loaded with cassis and blueberries—it's a really fruit-forward Hermitage, but one that still shows a modicum of granitic restraint on the medium to full-bodied palate, smooth, silky tannins and an elegant finish.”

2022 M. Chapoutier Les Granilites Blanc
Stuart Pigott, James Suckling, May 2024
““Very cool and delicate nose for such a warm and dry vintage, but with a bit of aeration a lovely lemon curd aroma develops, then with a little bit more a whisper of caramel. Focused, medium-bodied palate with a pronounced stony personality in the finish. From vineyards in Tournon and Mauves with a mix of granite and sedimentary soils. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.””

2022 M. Chapoutier Les Meysonniers Rouge
James Suckling, James Suckling, May 2024
““A well-crafted, crunchy and pulpy northern syrah. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins. Juicy, crushed dark cherry character with aromas of dark cherries, wild herbs and black pepper. There is a transparent character, with a kick of spices toward the peppery finish. Drink or hold.””

2021 M. Chapoutier Barbe Rac
Jeb Dunnuck, Jeb Dunnuck, October 2023
“All Grenache that was 90% destemmed and raised mainly in concrete, beautiful wild strawberries, hints of framboise, loamy soil, spice, and subtle floral notes all define the aromatics of the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Barbe Rac, and it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a supple, layered, elegant mouthfeel, ripe tannins, and outstanding length.”

2020 M. Chapoutier Sicamor
James Suckling, James Suckling, May 2023
“An ample and well-rounded Crozes-Hermitage with notes of dark cherries, mixed berries, dried herbs, smoke and black pepper. Medium body with great volume and control. Crisp and bright. Very low alcohol at 12.5% yet it has character and poise. It has some inky character on the palate and a succulent finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.”

2020 M. Chapoutier Les Meysonniers Rouge
Kristen Bieler, Wine Spectator, January 2023
“Boasts beautifully pure fruit, with black and red berry flavors layered with sweet licorice, giving way to warm earth and wet stone. Reveals white pepper, olive tapenade, dried thyme and sanguine undertones, which build toward the persistent finish. Drink now through 2030. 45 cases imported”

2021 M. Chapoutier Les Granilites Blanc
Jeb Dunnuck, Jeb Dunnuck, December 2022
“Saint Joseph wasn't affected by the frost, so the production of the 2021 Saint Joseph Les Granits Blanc is healthy. It's a terrific wine as well and offers a medium gold hue to go with impressive aromatics of honeyed stone, apricot, white flowers, and orange blossom-like nuances. It shows the fresh, classic, focused style of the vintage and is a beautiful Saint Joseph Blanc to enjoy over the coming decade.”

2019 M. Chapoutier Monier de la Sizeranne
Josh Raynolds, Vinous, December 2022
“Deep violet color. Dark berries, cherry-cola and olive on the nose, along with suggestions of potpourri and allspice. Densely packed and chewy in texture, offering deep black and blue fruit, cracked pepper and smoky bacon flavors that show excellent fine definition and back-end lift. Closes with a very long and smoky, strong, mineral drive, a repeating pepper note and a firm tannic grip.”

2019 M. Chapoutier Les Meysonniers Rouge
James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, May 2022
“Fresh, ripe, and well-defined, with raspberry, bitter cherry and plum puree notes that race through, carried by a fine minerally spine while savory and sanguine details infuse the finish. Drink now through 2030”

2019 M. Chapoutier Monier de la Sizeranne
Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 2022
“Blended from the lieux-dits of les Bessards, Greffieux, le Méal and les Beaumes, Chapoutier's 2019 Hermitage Monier de la Sizeranne offers up scents of cedar, leather, spice, dried cherries and fresh plums. It's full-bodied, rich and almost creamy on the palate, then softly dusty on the long finish. While not as concentrated or cellar-worthy as the various selections parcellaires, it's still a worthy effort, not an afterthought.”

Piper-Heidsieck Cuvée Brut
Anna-Christina Cabrales, Wine Enthusiast, April 2026
“Fresh and precise, the nose reveals white peach, citrus oil, salty butter and light brioche. Fine, persistent perlag prepares the palate for a gentle unfolding of orchard fruits, citrus oil, white tea, stony notes and a hint of salinity. Bright and lively, it pairs beautifully with umami-rich dishes such as oysters or fresh mackerel.”

Charles Heidsieck Rosé Réserve
Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator, December 2025
“Toasty on the nose, with rich hints of brioche, pastry cream and ground coffee following on the palate. Plush and creamy in texture, this is brightened by finely meshed acidity and a range of crushed plum, raspberry, lime peel and candied ginger notes. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier.”

2022 M. Chapoutier Sicamor
Jeb Dunnuck, Jeb Dunnuck, May 2025
“Black raspberries, peppery herbs, violets, and smoky nuances all emerge from the 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Sicamor, a ripe, beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied Crozes. Mostly destemmed and aged in demi-muids, it's going to have 7-8 years of longevity. Drink 2025-2033.”

2022 Colomé Auténtico Malbec
Matthew Luczy, May 2025
“Hailing from 20-year-old vines planted at 2,300 meters above sea level, the 2022 Auténtico Malbec matured for 10 months in predominately stainless steel and a portion of concrete eggs for 10 months. It opens with a distinctly savory, meaty nose of cracked pepper, cured meats, dried spices and purple flowers, introducing an intensely rich, svelte and lush palate. The finish is solid, sturdy and intensely mineral driven.”

2020 Dominio del Soto Albillo
Wilfred Wong, James Suckling, November 2024
“A pure and expressive albillo mayor showing lots of brightness, sliced apples, minerals and some white fruit and macadamia nuts. Nervy and sharp on the palate, but there is enough substance and weigh to balance the acidity. Drink or hold.”
