2021	Domaine Cabirau	Maury Sec 'Serge & Marie'	Always a brilliant value as well as a terrific wine, the 2021 Maury Sec Serge & Marie is based largely on Grenache yet includes one-third Carignan. Black cherries, darker raspberries, dried violets, loamy earth, pepper, and sandalwood all emerge on the nose, and it hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a seamless, elegant mouthfeel, soft tannins, and a great finish. This cuvée always shows the perfumed, riper style of Maury yet never comes across as heavy or cumbersome, and if anything, this 2021 could easily be mistaken for a beautiful Pinot Noir. It's perfect for enjoying any time over the coming 7-8 years.	Jeb Dunnuck	93		2023-08-17
2020	Domaine Cabirau	Cotes du Rousillon	The 2020 Côtes du Roussillon checks in as 50% Grenache, 30% Carignan, and 20% Syrah. It has classic Maury-like notes of chocolate, minerals, and meaty black cherry fruits as well as medium to full-bodied richness, a round, supple, seamless mouthfeel, and outstanding length. More spice, herbes de Provence, and peppery notes develop with time in the glass. This is another seamless, elegant, delicious wine from this estate.	Jeb Dunnuck	90		2023-08-17
2021	Domaine D'Ansignan	Petites Grappes	From an estate purchased by Jeff Carrel in 2016, the 2021 Côtes du Roussillon Les Petites Grappes is equal parts Grenache and Carignan from pure granite soils. Beautiful, almost Northern Rhône-like notes of ripe red and black fruits, smoked meats, graphite, and pepper, as well as a beautiful minerality, define the aromatics, and it's fresh, focused, and elegant, with beautifully integrated acidity. It's a stunning bottle of wine.	Jeb Dunnuck	92		2023-08-17
2022	Domaine D'Ansignan	Petites Grappes	Scheduled to be bottled in June, the 2022 Côtes du Roussillon Les Petites Grappes is the same blend of equal parts Grenache and Carignan. Very different from the 2021, it has more red and black fruit as well as peppery herbs and violets. Rich, full-bodied, and opulent, it stays fresh and lively but is clearly a bigger, richer wine.

2019	Domaine Cabirau	Maury Sec 'Serge & Marie'	The 2019 Maury Sec Serge & Marie is 70% Grenache, 20% Carignan, and 10% Syrah and is aged in 50% foudre and 50% used barrique between two and ten years old. It's a more serious wine offering ripe kirsch, blackberry, peppery herbs, and obvious minerality in a medium to full-bodied, ripe, silky, textured package. Drink bottles over the coming 4-6 years.

2022	Domaine Durand	Menetou Salon	The 2022 Menetou Salon Blanc is slightly more reticent, with white flowers, stone fruits, orange blossom, and chalky minerality in its medium-bodied, nicely balanced, textured, layered style. Like the Sancerre Blanc, it's racy and vibrant while bringing beautiful texture and richness.	Jeb Dunnuck	91		2023-08-17
2022	Domaine des Rocailles	Apremont Jacquere	The 2022 Apremont (100% Jacquère) is a juicy, incredibly refreshing, delicious white offering bright citrus and pear fruit in a medium-bodied, clean, crisp, balanced style.	Jeb Dunnuck	90		2023-08-17
2022	Domaine D'Ansignan	Les Grenadines	The 2022 Les Grenadines (42% Grenache, 31% Syrah, 16% Carignan, and a splash of Maccabeu) is light ruby-hued, with an almost rosé feel in its pretty strawberry, peppery herb, and violet notes in a medium-bodied, clean, fresh, and lively style on the palate. It's a deliciously quaffable, impeccably made red to drink over the coming summer months.	Jeb Dunnuck	90		2023-08-17
2022	Villa des Anges	Pays d'Oc Cabernet Sauvignon	Already bottled, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon brings considerably more richness and ripeness, with ripe black cherry and cassis fruits as well as spice, tobacco, and dried herb notes. Medium-bodied, nicely textured, and fleshy, this balanced, layered, ripe Cabernet has tons of character as well.	Jeb Dunnuck	90		2023-08-17
2022	Villa des Anges	Pays d'Oc Rose 'Vielles Vignes'	All Cinsault from a single estate in the Languedoc, the 2022 Cinsault Rosé is light and fresh, with bright orange blossom and dried strawberry fruit in its medium-bodied, silky, elegant profile. It's nicely balanced, has good acidity, and a clean finish.	Jeb Dunnuck	90		2023-08-17
