Wine Spectator: 92 Points

Luscious and ripe, with cherry coulis and blueberry underscored by smoked garrigue, violet and anise. Round and concentrated on the palate, this is gently framed by very fine-grained tannins. The licorice-laced finish shows nice mineral details. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2032. 1,500 cases made, 600 cases imported.

James Suckling: 92 Points

A rich, fleshy and textural Chateauneuf with stacks of damson plum and a hint of dried date character. The expansive palate features an impressive tannin structure and plenty of savory depth, the creamy, yet dry finish completing the very satisfying picture. A cuvee of 50% grenache, 40% syrah and 10% mourvedre from vineyards on sandy soil. Drink or hold.

Wine Advocate: 90 Points

For the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Lavau tapped two growers, both in sandier, northern sectors of the appellation. Mixed red berries, garrigue and traces of leather and oak appear on the nose of this blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. It's full-bodied but soft, elegant and easy to drink, showing maybe just a touch of warmth on the finish.
