The 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Hauts-Lieux showed consistently, with a beautiful, lively array of darker berries, graphite, leather, and pepper in a medium to full-bodied, balanced, vibrant style. It plays in the fresher, more elegant style of the vintage yet this brings ample depth and richness.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2024-2040, Yohan Castaing, Wine Advocate, Oct 2024

Always one of my favorites in Daumen’s lineup, the 2021 Les Hauts-Lieux is more somber and introverted than expected, revealing aromas of blue fruits, pepper, earth and smoke. It’s medium to full-bodied, dense and concentrated on the palate, with a fleshy core of fruit, structured tannins and a long, deep, chocolate-inflected finish. The proportion of Mourvèdre (20%) is particularly noticeable in this vintage, lending the wine a more earthy, structured profile than usual, with chalky dry extracts. This is quite a serious Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Hauts-Lieux turned out well, delivering lively red cherry, raspberry, strawberry, dried herbs and white pepper aromas. Not as powerful as either the 2020 or 2019, but more refined, it is a neatly structured offering from Jean-Paul Daumen and his son Antoine.
