Maison Chapoutier and Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier Score 91+ Points on WineSpectator.com

91 pts –  M. Chapoutier La Sizeranne 2012

Singed juniper and mesquite notes lead the way, followed by a sleek core of damson plum, red currant and pomegranate fruit flavors. Features a long, sandalwood- and iron-tinged finish. Not dense, but focused and tight-grained. Drink now through 2023. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. –JAMES MOLESWORTH

93 pts – Domaine Terlato & Chapoutier L Block 2010

Rich and minerally, layered with stone, slate and moss overtones, this offers a sleek core of black cherry and floral flavors. Features great presence, and ample density without excess weight, finishing with intensity. Best from 2017 through 2022.  –HARVEY STEIMAN
