Wine Advocate
Review Date: 10/2025The most reductive cuvée in the cellar, the 2023 Les Hauts-Lieux is a beauty, unfurling with aromas of spices, chocolate, dark cherries and garrigue, lifted by alluring notes of licorice. Full-bodied, dense and suave, it is layered and sensual, with polished tannins and a vibrant core of fruit that carries into a perfumed finish. More precise and ethereal than usual, this ranks among the finest renditions I have ever tasted. The blend is composed of 60% Grenache Noir and 20% Mourvèdre. (YC) 96+

This is so rich and ripe, with high alcohol and glycerol. The acidity is surprisingly punchy and really quite intense; there’s some limestone tension, too. The tannins are ripe, huge and structured. Darker and more powerful than the Trois Sources and is likely to be very long lived, but will need 20 years to really show itself. The alcohol is undoubtedly high, but the balance is such that you don’t feel it as much as you might. (MW)

The 2023 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Réserve is one of the wines of the vintage. After a few minutes of aeration, it showcases precise and fresh strawberry, raspberry and red cherry fruit, neatly complemented by peppery glimmers and dried herbs. Fresh violets add a floral lift. Touching the full-bodied, concentrated palate with remarkable depth, the 2023 is a gorgeous rendition of this iconic Cuvée, checking out with superb overall balance and length on the detailed finale.
