Northern Rhône 2021 total classic score: 2.5/5
Persistently wonderful white wines, however reds very combined as a consequence of extreme frost and a gentle, wet season. Some are weak and inexperienced, others excellent in a recent and structured model.
‘The model of 2021 is gentle, lean and recent, with excessive acidity, low alcohol and strict tannins…however for a lot of producers making purple wines, 2021 can be a yr finest forgotten. For white wines, the other is true.’
Northern Rhône 2021 purple wine of the classic
M Chapoutier, L’Ermite, Hermitage
Northern Rhône 2021 white wine of the classic
Stéphane Ogier, Les Vieilles Vignes de Jacques Vernay, Condrieu
If the southern Rhône had a tricky yr in 2021, the northern Rhône had it even worse. When speaking to growers, one phrase that got here up time and time once more was ‘exhausting’. On paper, this was a disastrous classic, but it surely was value preventing for – some producers pulled wonderful wines out of their hats. Not many, however some.
