Dark, brooding and sultry, with textural intrigue behind flavors of smoked cherry, black currant and mocha enrobed in toasty oak. There's a flash of mesquite on the slightly chewy palate, solidly grounded by bolts of iron. Salty and complex, with incense and dried violet notes echoing on the substantial finish, which will unwind with a few years in the bottle. Best from 2026 through 2035.

Notes of licorice, cedar and smoke preface the 2022 Cote Rotie La Landonne, a slightly austere, introverted Côte-Rôtie that is medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated, with a linear texture framed by a fresh, fleshy mid-palate and bright acids. It concludes with a firm, oaky, spicy finish. The underlying character of the soil is present but restrained, leaning toward a gently woody style that somewhat mutes its natural expression. Crafted by Jacques Grange and his team, this wine has the potential to age gracefully. It would benefit from additional time in the cellar to fully express itself.

A seductive core of red fruit is flanked by cigar box and pepper on a silky palate amply dusted in graphite, cured meat and sandalwood smoke. Simmers with inner density and energy yet manages to stay light on its feet as this stretches on and on. Harmonious and seamless. Drink now through 2030. 

A densely packed version, with a beautiful range to its green herb and juicy apricot notes, flecked with fresh green herbs and a flicker of menthol. Totally complete, with all systems firing in unison in this complex, vibrant, full-bodied white. Cooling stone minerality courses through the long, solid finish. Drink now through 2030.

Large in scale, with a fresh burst of blackberry fruit, melted licorice and chalky mineral notes edged in mesquite ash. Maintains elegance, with lavender and bitter cherry pit high tones, all wrapped around a spine of graphite. Inviting at first, this soon reveals muscular tannins that need more time to unfurl. Earthy, smoky, singed incense underpinnings mark the powerful and focused close. Best from 2026 through 2038.
