From deep pink-granite soils around the estate. Gorgeous, spicy red fruit, rounded and smooth, is balanced by fresh vibrant acidity, and the finish is longer than it has any right to be.
Wine Advocate 92 points A fine effort, Passot's 2021 Chiroubles Aux Craz wafts from the glass with aromas of red berries, plums, rose petals and peonies. Medium-bodied, lively and saline, with fine concentration for the vintage and a beautifully refined, ethereal profile, readers who privilege perfume and succulence over richness and extract will want to seek it out. Drinking 2021 - 2027 — William Kelley
Jancis Robinson 17 points Deep purplish crimson. Pretty, like the previous Chiroubles, but more concentration. A light stemmy impression giving a light and fresh herbaceous note to the dark-red fruit. Firm but not thick tannins. Perfectly structured for the wealth of fruit – the scent continuing through the long finish. Mouth-watering aftertaste. A beauty. Drinking 2025 - 2033 — Julia Harding MW
James Suckling 91 points Plenty of bright black cherry fruit here plus some gentle tannins that nicely fill out the generous body. Good length at the moderately dry finish. Drink or hold. — Stuart Pigott
