"Full-bodied, generous and full of juicy fruit. Ripe and exuberant, an expansive mass of ripe tannin. Definite sweetness to the mid-palate and a sense of potency. Tannins will take time to soften, but this will make an enjoyably flamboyant style when it's ready. The most well-balanced Reine des Bois in many years. From lieu-dits Bois de la Ville, La Crau and La Nerthe. Fermented and aged in 80% stainless steel, 20% old barriques." - 93 points, Matt Walls
"The 2020 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Reine des Bois is quite closed at the moment. Time in the glass gradually unlocks ripe red and black fruits, violets and herbal nuances. Touching the palate with absolutely no rough edges, the full-bodied 2020 demands at least three more years before it can be approached. Polished and harmonious, it exits the stage with an elegant conclusion." - 93 points, Nicolas Greinacher
