96 Points Decanter - Quite introspective for now, mostly just the nutty oak showing itself on the nose. Distinctly savoury, dry and medium-bodied palate. There's plenty of extract, giving it a saline impression on the very long finish, where flavours of cinnamon spice, apple and quince intermingle. A good sense of finesse, this could be exceptional in time. Grown on sandy soils and aged in new barriques.

95 Points Jeb Dunnuck - Ripe pineapple, honeyed citrus, and some toasty nuances all define the bouquet of the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Cuvée Barberini Blanc, another pure, brilliantly balanced, incredibly impressive white from this estate that does everything right. This always is a richer styled white, but it holds onto a wonderful sense of freshness and purity and has a great finish.

94 Points James Suckling - Stacks of candied citrus, anise, smoke and vanilla with hints of yoghurt and Mediterranean herbs. Powerful, concentrated and crisp with quite a bit of smoky oak. This complex, full-bodied dry white is just beginning to show what it's got. Very limited production. From organically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

50% Roussanne, 40% Clairette, Grenache Blanc 10%

These ‘’cuvées’’ come from a very strict selection of some of the Domaine’s best parcels. These cuvées are jewels and are only produced when the vintage allows it.

Complex nose of peach flower, brioche, and oriental pastries. Elegant, rich palate, dominated by citrus marmalade and peach, with a long finish balanced by mineral notes.
