WINE ADVOCATE
Fragrant and inviting, Olivier Hillaire’s 2020 Chateauneuf du Pape boasts enticing, Grenache-laden notes of strawberries, roses and black tea. In the mouth, the wine is medium to full-bodied, nicely silky and balanced—not overdone, not underdone—just charming and easy to drink.

JEB DUNNUCK
Readers looking for a classic, incredibly satisfying wine that should keep for a decade should jump on the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape from Olivier Hillaire. Mostly Grenache with 10% Syrah, it has textbook notes of ripe blackberries, black cherries, peppery herbs, and loamy earth. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has a charming, forward style, soft tannins, and is already impossible to resist.
