Critics Ratings

'Looking at the 2011s from bottle, the straight Côte-Rôtie is a knockout effort that has soaring aromas of underbrush, herbed game, green coffee beans and white pepper to go with black cherry and blackberry-styled fruit. Medium to full-bodied, textured and layered, with fantastic precision and focus in the vintage, it should continue to shine through 2026.' - Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, 95/100 (Dec 2013)

'Bright violet color. High-pitched red and dark berry aromas are complicated by Asian spices, potpourri and black pepper, with a smoky nuance sneaking up with aeration. Lively, focused and pure, offering intense black raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that become sweeter with air. Silky tannins frame the sappy finish, which clings with impressive tenacity and appealing floral character. Jamet told me that there's about 15% new oak here.' - Josh Raynolds, Vinous.com, 93/100 (Mar 2014)
