Review Date: 11/2022More framboise, strawberries, dried herbs, and savory, loamy earth-like notes emerge from the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Croix De Bois, another 100% Grenache release from Chapoutier that's brought up all in concrete tanks. Medium to full-bodied, pure, and balanced, it epitomizes the charming, rounded, already accessible style of the vintage perfectly. Give it just a few years and enjoy over the following 15+.

An elegant and crafty Chateauneuf-du-Pape made entirely from grenache. It delivers notes of red cherries, dark cherries, flowers and sweet spices. It’s medium-bodied with sinewy tannins and freshness all along. It’s crisp and bright despite the structure, with a crunchy edge and a focused, restrained finish with excellent length. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink or hold.

A powerful, full-throttled red, with a polished beam of fruit underscored by stealthy mineral concentration. Boasts black currant, fig and warm chestnut notes that are tightly wound around a ballast of iron. Reveals hints of menthol, baking spices and grilled herbs that echo through the superlong, weighty finish. Solid and savory, with a long life ahead in the cellar. Best from 2025 through 2040.—K.B.
