  • Mounir and Rotem Saouma (of Burgundy’s Lucien Le Moine) bring the same slow, meticulous approach to the Rhône. Arioso is their pure Grenache cuvée from old vines on sandy soils. Grapes are hand-harvested, fermented with native yeasts, and aged for up to two years in a mix of large foudres, demi-muids and even concrete — never rushed, never forced. The 2021 is perfumed and refined, with raspberry, cherry and dried herbs over subtle spice. Silky but deep, with remarkable finesse and length, it’s a collector’s wine that would feel at home in the Cote d’Or. Built for cellaring, but drinks beautifully now with careful decanting.

  • "The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Arioso unwinds with spicy licorice, ripe strawberry, violet and a flicker of cedar. Offering superb drive and tension on the medium- to full-bodied palate, the 2021 is a remarkably elegant Arioso that checks out with saline nuances on the polished resolution." 93 points Nicolas Greinacher Vinous.com
