Comments on this

Château de Jonquières Terrasses du Larzac "La Baronnie" red 2021 :

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2024 (August 2023): 92/100. "La Baronnie 2021 is denser than Lansade 2021, with a thick tannic structure, a character of garrigue and charcoal. It deserves a few years of patience, but already shows a beautiful balance and true typicity."

The Wine Review of France 2024 (July-August 2024, "our most beautiful cuvées under €20): 89-90/100. "Graphite, charcoal, and aromatic herbs. Fresh palate, delicate tannin grain. Beautiful presence on the palate."
