Recent Northern Rhone vintages have been quite mixed. In 2019, especially, overripeness was frequently a problem, while in 2021 I have found wines that showed phenolic immaturity. Choose carefully.

2018-2019-2020 are all challenging vintages, and many of the wines have high stated alcohols. But some producers have succeeded in spite of the challenges.

Recent Northern Rhônes Part I: Barge, Belle, Blachon, Chapoutier
Recent vintages have been uneven here. Many of the wines are high in alcohol, but these producers handled it better than one would fear. Use of new oak seems to be more problematic, though. (Continue reading here.)

Northern Rhônes Recently Tasted from 2013, 2014, and 2015: Entrefaux/Tardy, Faurie, Faury, Gonon, Graillot, Levet, Marsanne, Paillard/Vigne des Pères, Perret, St-Clair/Basset, Souillard
(Originally published June 2017)
Conventional wisdom is that 2014 is a problem vintage and 2015 is a great vintage in the region. As usual, conventional wisdom misses the true story.
There’s plenty of good 2014 around, although one wants to be careful, as always, in choosing producers. As for 2015, it has a rich style with moderate acidity, but with the wrong producers, those factors can get out of hand and the wines can become unbalanced.
All wines below are red, except as specifically noted otherwise. (Continue reading here.)

Recently Tasted Northern Rhônes from 2014, 2015, and 2016: Les 4 Vents/Cellier, Balthazar, Belle, Burgaud, Clape, Curtat, Darnaud, Durand
(Originally published February 2018)
All wines below are red unless otherwise indicated.
2015 and 2016 both are looking like spectacular vintages with more power to the 2015s, a little more freshness to the 2016s, to make a gross generalization; and the 2014s from the proper addresses are not to be snubbed, either. But as always, be aware that your producer is your best guide. (Continue reading here.)

Northern Rhône Wines (Collines Rhodaniennes, Condrieu, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Péray): Bécheras, Cuilleron, Curtat, Faury
(Originally published 26 May 2018.)
The wines from 2016 generally have more acidity and freshness but less sensuality than their 2015 counterparts. Both make for very good drinking for serious Rhône drinkers. (Continue reading here.)
