91-93 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Cuvée Christophe should easily be outstanding. It's made in a slightly more modern style, with some new oak, but it has a classic vibe in its smoky darker fruits and peppery, meaty aromatics. Medium to full-bodied and nicely concentrated, with building tannins, it's going to 2-3 years of bottle age and will evolve nicely over the following decade." (03/2024) 90-93 points Vinous: "The 2022 Crozes-Hermitage Cuvée Christophe uses fruit from up to 70-year-old vines. Ripe tannins provide good structure to...

Out East is a woman driven operation that works with producers and growers around the world to create sustainably driven, lifestyle friendly wines. The Hermitage was a collaboration with the Cave de Tain in Tain l'Hermitage, one of the region's most iconic producers. The fruit is 100% Syrah from mostly granitic soils, hand-harvested and matured in French oak. It is a bold and rich Syrah that has aromas of roasted plum, hoisin and fig jam. The palate is dense with flavors of blackcurrants, licorice, plum jam and baking spices. This wine is drinking b...

94-96 points Jeb Dunnuck: "I loved the 2022 Hermitage Cuvée Emilie, a pure, full-bodied, concentrated Hermitage revealing gorgeous crème de cassis, graphite, burning ember, and spicy oak-driven aromatics. Offering polished tannins, a great mid-palate, and a blockbuster of a finish, it's going to shine with just a few years of bottle age yet evolve for two decades. This cuvee was first produced in 1973 and is named after Philippe Desmeure’s daughter. It comes primarily from the Les Grandes Vignes lieu-dit and is destemmed, sees a 28-30 day maceration, and...

93 points Wine Enthusiast: "Pure aromas of strawberries, raspberries, crème de cassis, wild mint and violets grow generously in in the glass. The palate presents distinguished layers of fruit, followed by stone and black peppercorn in its finish. This wine has the ability to age well through 2035+. (AI)" (12/2023) 90 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Black raspberries, spice wood, violets, and some bouquet garni like nuances all emerge in Remizières's 2021 Cornas, a medium-bodied, elegant Cornas that has fine, ripe tannins, solid overall balance, and a great finish...

95 points Wine Advocate: "It is difficult to believe the intensity Chapoutier has achieved in the 1992 Ermitage Le Pavilion. The black/purple color is followed by a sweet, intense fragrance of licorice, peppery black currants, and spices. Full-bodied, powerful, and dense, with remarkable intensity, this is a supple wine that should be drinkable in 6-7 years, and last for 20-25 years. It is a remarkable achievement for the vintage.

Opulent and round, this is a rockstar Hermitage Blanc.

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Moving to the Hermitage releases, the 2018 Hermitage is terrific, and readers will love to have bottles in the cellar. From a great vintage for the Northern Rhône, it has a medium to full-bodied, concentrated, yet wonderfully elegant profile as well as complex notes of darker fruits, pepper, cured meats, and leather. It gets spicier and more nuanced with time in the glass and already offers pleasure, yet it has the structure and balance to benefit from short-term cellaring and keep for 15+ years." (02/2022)

99 points Decanter: "Decidedly rich in style, the oak is quite marked, with roasted pineapple notes, lemon verbena and lemon thyme. Very full-bodied, this is massive, assertive and powerful, but with great freshness and energy. Flinty, smoky elements and a long, salty, mineral finish. One for the ages. Pure Marsanne, vines are over 50 years old, planted on pebbles, clay and some loess, facing south. Whole-bunch pressed, half fermented in demi-muids, half in vats.

Enormously rich and spicy, with great blackberry fruit plus a touch of red beets, then the very bright and pure tannins charge through, followed by the mineral acidity that sets the sky alight at the extremely long and linear finish. How could you resist this beauty that is simultaneously so deep and playful? Great aging potential. From biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold."

Coming from a west facing, granitic hillside just beside Hermitage Hill, this beauty will warrant 4-6 years of bottle age and my money is on it being one of the top – and longest lived – Crozes in the vintage."

It's zesty and crisp, with good acidity and will drink well from the outset. This isn't as concentrated as some recent vintages, but it's still a highly impressive wine that will age with interest. Picked on 23 August.

A huge perfume of black (and some blue) fruits, rendered bacon fat, iron, and graphite notes all lead to a powerful, full-bodied Hermitage that has incredibly purity and depth, awesome concentration, and building yet polished tannins.

Dried lemons, quince peel, grilled almonds, white peaches, wet stones, wild herbs and white flowers mingle successively on the nose. It’s medium-bodied yet it has a gigantic dimension. It’s all contained, restrained and funneled into the precise, highly textural and tense palate. Succulent, with baked lemon character and a long, long finish.

Black colored, with an extraordinary perfume of licorice, sweet blackcurrants, smoke, and minerals, it coats the palate with layer upon layer of decadently rich, superconcentrated, nearly viscous Syrah flavors. There is amazing glycerin, a chewy, unctuous texture, and phenomenal length. The tannins, which are considerable when analyzed, are virtually obscured by the massive quantities of fruit. I hope I live to see ...

Incredible aromatics of cassis, graphite, liquid rock-like minerality, and burning embers all emerge from the glass, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, layered mid-palate, and enough tannins to warrant 7-8 years of bottle age. While not a massive, blockbuster example of this cuvée, its purity, finesse, and elegance are something. This cuvée saw 15% stems and will spend 18 months in just 15% new barrels."
