James Suckling (98)I tasted this and I thought of the great Rayas from the late 1980s. Full body, bright fruit and a creamy texture. Its purity of fruit is amazing with dark berry, spice, meat and dried flowers. The first vintage of this was 2009. Made from old vines planted in the 1940s. Aged three years in demi mouie. Very low sulfur too. Drink or hold |

Wine Spectator (97)This is cut from different cloth, with beguiling loganberry, açai berry and raspberry fruit seamlessly melded with dried star anise, singed cinnamon and black tea notes, all carried by substantial yet remarkably silky tannins. A light echo of iron pervades the finish, adding extra cut to the copious fruit and spice elements. Hard to resist now but should cruise in the cellar. Drink now through 2032. 350 cases made. |

Jeb Dunnuck (95)Tasting like a Grand Cru from Chambertin, the 2013 Châteauneuf-Du-Pape Arioso is 100% Grenache from the Pignan plateau that spent three years in barrel, on lees, before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. Black cherry, forest floor, spring flowers, damp earth, and spice all flow to a medium-bodied, ethereally textured, seamless 2013 that opens up beautifully with time in the glass. Again, this is unquestionably a Burgundy lover’s Châteauneuf, and it shines more for its nuance, elegance, and complex more so than outright power and richness. With bright, yet integrated acidity and ample, sweet tannin, it’s a sensational 2013 and one of the best from the vintage. |

Wine Spectator (96)Very expressive, with seductive, gently mulled plum, raspberry and blackberry fruit flavors seamlessly layered together, while hints of black tea, singed anise, apple wood, incense and warm earth filter through on the finish. A long, mouthwatering mineral note echoes to the last moment. Gorgeous. Best from 2024 through 2040. 400 cases made, 29 cases imported. |

Vinous - Stephen Tanzer (88)Deep, bright ruby-red. Musky, rather wild aromas of black raspberry, espresso, chocolate, leather and meat. Sweet, soft and stuffed with raspberry, plum and leather flavors. A pliant midweight that finishes with a fine dusting of tannins and lingering notes of leather and pepper. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (90-92)The 2013 Rouget is wonderfully dark and fleshy in the glass. Sweet, layered and impeccable, the 2013 impresses for its depth and juiciness. The new oak is a bit present at the moment, but that should not be too much of an issue over time. The style is extroverted, racy and ripe, and it all works beautifully here. What a pretty wine this is. Tasted twice. |

Vinous - Antonio Galloni (95)The 2017 Rouget is a total knockout. Aromatically explosive, deep and just so compelling in its beauty, the 2017 has so much to offer. A rush of inky dark fruit, lavender, bittersweet chocolate, spice and licorice build as this sumptuous, exotic beauty shows off all of its allure. The 2017 is not at all subtle, but it sure is gorgeous. Rouget was stellar en primeur. It is every bit as impressive from bottle. |

Roulot Meursault 1er Cru Clos des Bouchères 2021 epitomises the elegance and precision synonymous with Jean-Marc Roulot’s esteemed domaines. Cultivated in the sole vineyard of Clos des Bouchères, this exquisite wine is crafted from carefully selected Chardonnay grapes grown on limestone-rich soils, imparting a distinctive minerality. Fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats to preserve purity and enhanced by subtle oak ageing in French barrels, the 2021 vintage exhibits a luminous golden hue with aromas of ripe citrus, white flowers, and a hint of almond. On the palate, it delivers a harmonious balance of vibrant acidity and rich texture, culminating in a persistent, refined finish. Ideal for pairing with shellfish, poultry, or creamy cheeses, this Meursault 1er Cru is a testament to Roulot’s commitment to quality and terroir expression. A sublime addition to any fine wine collection. |

Vinous (88)Pale, bright, green-tinged yellow. Reticent stony aromas and flavors of lime, menthol and minerals. Then surprisingly fleshy and subtly sweet in the mouth but without quite the cut promised by the nose. Finishes with good lingering menthol minerality. |

Vinous (90)The 2019 Meursault Les Vireuils has a pretty bouquet with orchard fruit, hints of apricot and just a touch of almond coming through with aeration. The palate is well balanced with an edgy opening, quite sharp at first, orange zest and a touch of tangerine. A citric finish just needs a little more length. This will develop with bottle age but I would afford it 3 to 4 years in the cellar. |
