Expert Reviews – Vintage 2021

James Suckling writes: A juicy, fruity red with aromas of dark cherries, red berries and mild spices. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Bright fruit character on the palate with a playful finish and a touch of spices. Drink now. – James Suckling 90

Kristen Bieler writes: Ripe and winey for the vintage, with alluring notes of licorice and steeped cherry on a bedrock of solid crushed iron. Apple wood and incense smoke elements add detail. Cool stone minerality washes through, while a kick of white pepper brings refreshment to the very solid finish. Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah. Drink now. – Wine Spectator

Jeb Dunnuck writes: The 2021 Ctes Du Rhne has to be considered a success in this challenging vintage, and it’s well worth drinking. Ripe red and black fruits, violets, and peppery notes emerge on the nose, and it’s medium-bodied, with a supple, elegant mouthfeel and a good finish. – Jeb Dunnuck

Nicolas Greinmacher writes:The 2021 Ctes-du-Rhne is a remarkable result given the challenging vintage conditions throughout the Rhne. Ripe red fruits rise up from the glass. Leafy and spicy undertones add more layers. This is a perfectly balanced 2021 red with absolutely no rough edges. Drinking 2023 to 2027. -Vinous
