Critic reviews
"The 2023 Clavin wafts from the glass with aromas of flowers, dark cherries and mulberries, leading into a medium- to full-bodied palate that is round, juicy and fresh. Elegant and balanced, it concludes with a long, delicate finish. As always with this cuvée, freshness and gourmandise are its defining traits."
Yohan Castaing, October 2025, RobertParker.com
"The perfumed 2023 Côtes-du-Rhône Clavin unwinds with ripe strawberry, raspberry jam and garrigue notes. Medium- to full-bodied, round and juicy, it checks out with ample vitality on the mid-length finish."
Nicolas Greinacher, October 2025, Vinous.com
"Another beautifully pure, juicy wine from this team, the 2023 Côtes du Rhône Clavin comes from vines surrounding the estate, just across the border from Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the northern part of the appellation. It offers aromas of blackberries, red cherries, violet, peppery herbs and leather. Medium-bodied and beautifully balanced, it has ripe, polished tannins and outstanding length. It is better than many Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines and will keep for 10 to 12 years if you are so inclined. Drink 2025 to 2037."
