James Suckling: 93 Points

The deep blueberry nose pulls you into this remarkably ripe and beautifully balanced 2021 Moulin-a-Vent that has what we look for in single-vineyard wines from this appellation. Gentle entry, then plenty of fine tannins at the long, velvety finish where there’s some crushed stone minerality. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate: 92 Points

The Clos de Rochegrès sits at 360 meters in altitude on steep, sandy, granitic slopes with a southeastern exposition. The 2021 Moulin-à-Vent Clos de Rochegrès fared nicely, emitting fresh aromas of boysenberries, elderberries, lilac petals and cacao powder. The medium to full-bodied palate maintains a pleasant concentration of flavor with a core of brambly fruit yet remains lithe with bright acids and fresh cuts of eucalyptus and sea salt underpinned by a supportive weave of tight-knit, powdery tannins that carry the wine in a gentle suspension.

Wine Spectator: 90 Points

This salty and earthy red shows real charm, with tugs of tar and hummus revealing modest notes of cherry and singed incense. A sanguine meatiness runs from beginning to end in this simmering, savory version, offering a tangy close, with menthol freshness chiming in at the end. Drink now through 2028. 200 cases imported.
