Domaine Adrien Berlioz 'Raipoumpou' Chignin Bergeron 2021

Luna Chavez - Nice but a bit pricey

7/10

It's a solid red with good structure and a clean finish that lingers nicely. But nearly £38 is a lot and I'm not sure it does enough more than bottles at the £25 mark to justify the jump. Would drink again if someone else was buying though.

Devon Marsh - Punches above its weight

8/10

Saw this on a restaurant menu and took a chance on it. Really glad I did. It's got proper structure to it — not just fruit bomb nonsense — and the finish is long and clean without being bitter. The 14% ABV is well hidden which is always a good sign. Would happily order again.

Derek Chang - Wow this is special

9/10

Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop wouldn't stop going on about it. He was right — it's got this amazing warmth to it without being heavy, and the fruit is really well balanced with a nice acidity that keeps you coming back. Absolutely loved it, already ordered another bottle.

Suki Patel - Decent, needs food though

7/10

Tried this on its own first and thought it was fine, nothing amazing. Then had it with a steak pie and it completely opened up. The acidity cuts through rich food really well. I think at this price point you want to save it for a proper meal rather than just Tuesday night telly.

Elena Morozova - Birthday treat that delivered

9/10

My partner got me this for my birthday after seeing Adrien Berlioz recommended somewhere online. It's genuinely one of the most interesting reds I've had in a while — the nose alone is worth the price of admission. Kept wanting to go back for another sniff before even sipping. Will be buying more of his stuff.

Jackson Wu - Great dinner party wine

8/10

Bought this for a dinner party and it went down really well. Everyone commented on it, especially how expressive the nose is — you get a lot going on just from smelling it. At £37.75 it's not cheap but it felt worth it for an occasion.

Diana Cruz - Perfect with lamb

8/10

Had this with slow-cooked lamb shoulder on a Sunday and it was a perfect match. The 14% gives it a nice warmth without being boozy, and there's a layered complexity to it that kept me interested through the whole bottle. Really clean finish too.
