About Cuvée aux Antipodes
2015 saw the introduction of a particularly thrilling project - a collaboration between Pujol and the then-head winemaker of prestigious Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé, François Millet. Cuvée aux Antipodes burst onto the fine wine scene as something new, innovative and ultimately fantastic. T

Wine Advocate (96+)The 2022 Cuvée Aux Antipodes Blanc is a magnificent triumph of yields. Where previously this 1.8-hectare plot produced anywhere from six to eight barrels of wine, the 2022 produced 23 barrels of wine—very exciting for followers of this cuvée. On the nose, the wine is showing its youth, but far from being inchoate, it is long and polished through the very long finish. It's got lashings of stone fruit and preserved citrus, white pepper, star anise, shaved fennel, juniper and cold buttered toast. This is a wonderful wine of potential and kaleidoscopic complexity, although it is far tighter and more compact than previous years. Searingly good. This was an unlabeled bottle pre-release. 13% alcohol, sealed under Diam. |

The Real Review (97)Winemaking orchestrated by François Millet from Chambolle-Musigny. Seductively silken texture with great mouth-feel. Dense, fruit-packed wine with cassis, dark cherry, berry and chocolate/mocha flavours. Nicely layered finish revealing true complexity. |

Wine Advocate (96)The 2021 Cuvee aux Antipodes Pinot Noir is scheduled for release in 2025 (although, should you be able to get your hands on some now and wish to drink it, it is already looking so good). On the nose, the wine is fresh and so detailed, with spiced cherry, tapenade, dried herbs, hints of alpine mint, red apple skins and black tea. In the mouth, the wine is balanced and exciting, herbal and fresh, with layers of texture and flavor that are difficult to separate. This is first rate, a thrilling wine, powerful and long but nuanced. Sealed under Diam. |
