Wine Advocate: 97 Points
"The 2017 Chateauneuf du Pape Pure is remarkably balanced, fresh and, yes, pure. The layers of raspberry fruit are blemish-free, so intense and concentrated that in other hands they might come across as jammy, but here, they're fresh and vibrant, backed by a full-bodied palate that's silky and airy in feel while possessing terrific intensity and depth. It should drink well for 15+ years."
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
"Fresh, ripe and focused, with a succulent beam of crushed raspberry, boysenberry and red currant fruit racing through, lined with red licorice details and framed by a judicious apple wood note on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2038."
