2019 M. Chapoutier Les Varonniers

Joe Czerwinski, Robert Parker 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, Robert Parker 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, Robert Parker 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.”

2019 M. Chapoutier Les Bécasses

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.”
