"A perfumed, floral wine with detailed pomegranate and wild strawberry fruit, and a suggestion of stony, smoky minerality. The tannins are very fine, almost Pinot-like. Very fresh, very long. Utterly delicious."

"This medium-bodied, fresh and crisp red has aromas and flavors of fresh raspberries, red tea leaves and crushed stones. Mineral and chalky finish. Try in 2026."

"A blend of young vines and 60-year-old vines, the 2023 Chiroubles Aux Côtes is juicy, following a rounded, ovoid progression with an expansive mid-palate flavored with accents of just-overripe raspberries, cherries, lilac petals and sweet spice, lifted with bright acidity. Fine-grained sandpaper tannins emerge more prominently on the back end, narrowing the wine and imparting a lingering textural residue."

"Fresh plums, blueberries, bark and crushed stone on the nose. It™s medium-bodied, fresh and focused, with precise tannins and a mineral finish. Drink now or hold."

"The 2022 Chiroubles Aux Côtes has a fresh, tidy, focused bouquet that unpacks pretty red berry fruit and damp earthy scents with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins, a silver bead of acidity and a judicious pinch of white pepper on the finish. This is the pick of the cuvées from Domaine des Marrans this year."
