Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve

William Kelley, Wine Advocate, August 2022

“Based on the 2017 vintage, complemented by 50% reserve wines (emphasizing Pinot, which was in short supply in the base vintage), Heidsieck's NV Brut Réserve exhibits aromas of sweet citrus fruit, buttery pastry, dried white flowers, bee pollen, crisp orchard fruit and praline. Medium to full-bodied, fleshy and seamless, with a pretty core of fruit, lively acids and chalky structure, it's a giving, charming wine that will offer a broad drinking window.”

2021 Mathilde Chapoutier Selection Grand Ferrage Sainte-Victorie

Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, August 2022

“Editor's Choice. The wine is young and has an herbal hint. But its rich future is assured. It has intensity, spice and a tight, tangy character. With its richness, this is a complex wine that will be ready in late 2022. ”

2021 Mathilde Chapoutier Selection Grand Ferrage Sainte-Victorie

Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2022

“Limpid pink. Intense strawberry, redcurrant and blood orange scents are complemented by dusty minerals, succulent herb and floral accents. Taut and energetic on the palate, offering fresh red berry, citrus pitch and lavender flavors that are braced by a spine of juicy acidity. Finishes very long and floral, with resonating mineral and floral notes.”

2020 Mathilde Chapoutier Selection Grand Ferrage Sainte-Victorie

Jeb Dunnuck, Jeb Dunnuck, January 2022

“On another level, the 2020 Côtes De Provence Sainte Victoire Grand Ferrage Rosé reveals a more salmon hue as well as a mineral-laced vibe in its orange blossom and tangerine-like fruits. Focused, vibrant, and chiseled on the palate, it’s one heck of a classy rosé. As with the other rosé here, drink up.”

2019 M. Chapoutier Les Varonniers

Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, January 2022

“The 2019 Crozes Hermitage les Varonniers features intense aromas of cherries and vanilla, plus hints of cassis and pencil shavings (it aged in 20% new oak, with 70% in barriques and 30% in demi-muids). Full-bodied, dense and rich, it's firmly tannic, with a long, dusty finish. Set it aside for a few years before pulling the cork.”

Charles Heidsieck Rosé Réserve

William Kelley, Wine Advocate, August 2022

“Delivering scents of crisp red apple, peach, white flowers, warm biscuits and fresh bread, the NV Rosé Réserve is based on the 2018 vintage and was disgorged early this year. Medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with lively acids and a racy, fine-boned profile, it's an elegant, pillowy wine that's already showing well.”

Charles Heidsieck Blanc de Blancs

William Kelley, Wine Advocate, August 2022

“Based on the 2017 vintage, complemented by some 25% reserve wines, Heidsieck's new NV Blanc de Blancs was disgorged in January 2021 with only two grams per liter dosage. Sourced from the Côte de Blancs, along with Montgueux (historically a stalking ground for this house), Villers-Marmery and the Sézannais, it offers up aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers and freshly baked bread, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and lively palate that's bright and layered, concluding with a chalky finish.”

2021 Mathilde Chapoutier Selection Grand Ferrage Provence Rosé

Josh Raynolds, Vinous, July 2022

“Shimmering orange-pink. Fresh red berries, nectartine, orange zest and a spicy nuance on the mineral-accented nose. Focused and lively on the palata, offering red berry, pit fruit and kumquat flavors that slowly deepen and take on a floral accent with air. Shows very good energy and mineral cut on the persistent finish, which leaves lavendar and pit fruit notes behind.”

Jeb Dunnuck, Jeb Dunnuck, March 2022

“The 2019 Côte Rotie Les Bécasses would be a great buy for readers looking to understand both the style of Chapoutier Côte Rôties as well as the style of the 2019 vintage. Medium-bodied, ripe, forward, and elegant, it has a solid perfume of dark raspberry fruits as well as spice box and dried flower notes. I love its tannins, it’s balanced, has good purity, and outstanding length. Drink it over the coming decade or so.”

James Suckling, James Suckling, February 2022

“Very meaty and savory with discreet red-fruit aromas, this is quite a traditional style of Chateauneuf with some spice. The well-crafted, gentle tannins support the full body without stepping into the foreground, and that makes this very easy to enjoy right now. Mellow finish. Drink or hold.”

2019 M. Chapoutier Sicamor

Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, January 2022

“The cedar, vanilla and wood spice-scented 2019 Crozes-Hermitage Sicamor backs those notes with copious black cherries and blackberries. A blend of three different terroirs (granite, puddingstone and argille-galets), it's full-bodied, concentrated and richly tannic, with a long, velvety finish. Purists will say it's oaky and a bit generic, but quibbles aside, it's a tasty glass of wine for drinking over the rest of this decade.”
