Tasting notes
James Suckling · James Suckling · 95
A perfumed nose of dark cherries, sweet spices, cocoa powder, dried thyme and hints of cola. It's full-bodied with finely grained tannins. Elegant and layered with a restrained character. Harmonious structure with a bright core of berries and herbs leading towards the focused, long finish.

Joe Czerwinski · Wine Advocate · 91
This wine's 25% new oak the balance is matured in a mix of older barrels and foudres) has given the 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee des Cadettes a pronounced floral, spicy character that's a bit odd for Châteauneuf-du-Pape, but it's pleasant when combined with the dark, cassis-like fruit. With its round, plump mouthfeel and ample weight on the palate, this is rather supple and charming for a cuvée that historically has demanded ageing.
