Critics Ratings

‘Like the regular bottling, the 2015 Saint Joseph les Grisieres is atypically big and rich, even showing a touch of jamminess. Espresso, herbs, black cherries and plums appear on the nose. Full-bodied, the wine shows plenty of structure and freshness to balance things out, finishing long and richly textured. Give it at least two years in the cellar and drink it over the next decade or so.’ – Joe Czerwinski, Wine Advocate, 94/100 (Dec 2018)

‘Lurid ruby. Complex, highly perfumed aromas of dark berry preserves, cola, cracked pepper and potpourri, lent vivacity by a smoky mineral topnote. Palate-staining blackberry, boysenberry and violet pastille flavors become sweeter and livelier with air. Deftly blends power and finesse and finishes sappy, precise and impressively long, revealing building tannins and resonating florality.’ – Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 93/100 (Feb 2018)

‘The classic bottling. Pretty dark crimson. Lively, aromatic, with really polished, ripe fruit. Lifted, elegant and winning.’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Nov 2016)
