    Another star of the vintage, Chapoutier's 2021 Chateauneuf du Pape Croix de Bois features attractive scents of crushed stone, dried herbs, fresh cherries and red raspberries. It's medium to full-bodied, with a silky mouthfeel and nicely concentrated fruit. It comes across as elegant and long, not overly extracted or tannic.

    A chewy, rich, savory red, with smoked sausage, wet soil and hoisin sauce merging with red fruit on a supple, well-proportioned frame. Not about power or ripe fruit but savory complexity and nuance. Mesquite smoke plays out on the long finish. Drink now through 2038. 10 cases imported.

    A very structured and concentrated Chateauneuf for the 2021 vintage, with complex red-fruit aromas and a leafy freshness. In fact, it is almost minty. The fine tannins are quite serious, but the wine moves rather light-footedly over the palate in spite of this. Very long, deep finish that tends in a fascinatingly dark direction. From a slope at the extreme east of Chateauneuf with a very water-retentive soil that makes dry farming no problem. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

    The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Croix de Bois is delightful. Ripe strawberry and rosewater mingle with spicy licorice and peppery accents. Round and elegant, the medium- to full-bodied 2021 shines with finesse and delicacy, ending with a refreshing slice of grapefruit on the refined close.

    Slightly deeper hued, the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Croix De Bois sees a touch more stems (25%) and is brought up in concrete as well. It has a more floral, vibrant style compared to the Barbe Rac, with Bing cherries, forest floor, violets, and peppery herbs, as well as a Grand Cru Burgundy-like sense of elegance and refinement on the palate. Medium to full-bodied and balanced, with fine tannins and a gorgeous finish, it ranks with the gems in the vintage.
