Professional Ratings

100 Jeb Dunnuck

Black fruits, smoke, graphite, crushed stone, and bloody nuances all emerge from the 2020 Côte Rôtie La Landonne, a magical, flawless Côte Rôtie that will need serious cellaring. Made from 100% Syrah and aged 42 months in new French oak, it's full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, with building tannins and incredible structure.

99 James Suckling

This is ample, stunning and concentrated, with impressive energy. Dark berries, grilled herbs, stones, leather, undergrowth and loads of baking spices. Full-bodied with fine, sinewy tannins. There is a solid frame of tannins bringing a serious character on the palate. Dense, dark core of blackberries and spices funneling through the palate. Highly textured with incredible drive. Focused and shaped for aging.

98 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Notes of green bell pepper, spices, pepper, iris, violet and dark berries introduce the 2020 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, a full-bodied, concentrated and structured wine with a multidimensional core of fruit, lively acids and deep mid-palate underpinned by a chassis of firm tannins. Concluding long and spicy, it will demand some patience.

98 Vinous

Dark as a moonless night, the knockout 2020 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne gradually unlocks its broad complexity, offering up prominent black pepper, graphite, cured meat and iodine notes as well as smoky blackberry jam and a touch of licorice. What’s so striking about this La Landonne is the flawless marriage of elevated flavor concentration with abundant freshness, depth and finesse. Firmly framed by a tight tannic core, the full-bodied 2020 is a modern-day legend. Rating: 98+

97 Wine Spectator

A massive, powerful and densely packed red, with a pleasingly chewy texture -- the kind of wine to eat with a fork. Yet this shows impressive grace despite its weight, with savory earthiness underlying a torrent of bitter cherry, warm spices, mocha and coffee. Smoky, with cigar and leather accents. The finish goes on and on and on, held together by beautifully sculpted tannins.
