    Domaine Saint-Jean de Villecroze La Chapelle (Red) 2022 - OutstandingTasted by Elizabeth Gabay MW & Ben Bernheim

    Bright, semi-translucent ruby red. Restrained dark berry nose with lots of spice, beeswax and leather. The top red from a top historical Provence estate, and it shows. On the palate, slightly inky, mysterious and rather decadent. Opulent, juicy dark fruit, wild plum and fresh red berries are balanced by blue mineral tannins that are slightly leathery and drying, but beautifully softened by generous fruit and supple alcohol. Lovely vibrancy. Full-bodied, warm, charming and very Provençal; perfect for winter.

    Tasted April 2026
