Critics Ratings

'I can't say the same thing about the 2010 Cornas, as it's crazily backwards, concentrated and structured, and needs some bottle age to round into form. Nevertheless, the incredible quality is present in its purity, focus, full-bodied richness and awesome finish. Give it another 3-4 years and enjoy it over the following 15-20 years (if not more). Drink 2017-2037.' - Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, 99+/100 (Aug 2014)

'Best vintage since 1990 and 1978, according to Olivier Clape.' Meat and chocolate on the palate. Incredible intensity on the finish. Very bold and muscular, with a long life ahead of it - yet the tannins aren't too harsh at this still-young age. There is clearly more to come in terms of flavour development.' - Richard Hemming MW, JancisRobinson.com, 1.5/20 (Nov 2017)
