B‑21 normally has excellent service. The shipments apparently got a little behind for the holidays in the year 2024. There were some confusion in three of my orders, but eventually this was cleared up after the new year.

Great place to order wine. I order when it is free shipping and I send it to a local business so I don’t have to wait around to sign for the wine. They have very good prices and a great selection. Very happy to do business with them.

I really like their free shipping which they offer once a month, but I am a bit disappointed that it doesn’t include slightly lower priced cases of wine even when you’re ordering additional higher price cases.

2020 Domaine Durieu Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Lucile Avril (750ml)

Grenache from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône, France

B-21 Top Recommendation
Read More

The classically styled 97-point 2020 Domaine Durieu Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Lucile Avril is a collectible-caliber stunner from 100-year-old Grenache vines delivering “beautiful Provençal character” according to Jeb Dunnuck. Tailor-made for stacking high and deep in the cellar, it's available at unheard-of pricing for our B-21 private offer clients.

"Super-concentrated, super-structured, but also more elegant than a wine built on this monumental scale can theoretically be."- James Suckling

Described by Robert Parker himself as “one of the up-and-coming superstar estates of Châteauneuf-du-Pape” over a decade ago, Domaine Durieu is now a bona fide force in the appellation under the direction of third-generation winemaker Vincent Durieu. The 2020 Lucile Avril is a blend of mostly Grenache, the oldest vines dating from 1914, with 10% Mourvedre and 10% Syrah, planted in the Farguerol lieu-dit’s blue clay and limestone soils on a plateau just north of the town of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Vinifying the grapes separately with indigenous yeasts, Durieu aged the 2020 Lucile Avril in concrete tanks for 18 months, balancing its lush, herb- and spice-scented fruit on a framework of firm, well-integrated tannins that guarantee years of evolution.

From a 2020 vintage yielding wines with “energy and verve” according to Decanter’s Matt Walls, the 2020 is "pure, seamless, incredibly elegant, and full-bodied ... another straight-up gorgeous wine from this team that readers will love to have in their cellar," as described by Dunnuck. Rarely do we get an opportunity on such an impeccably balanced, old-vine Châteauneuf-du-Pape at such an unbeatable price. Simply put, this wine is stunning.

Smelling this great Chateauneuf is like gazing into a deep chasm. Amazing complexity with aromas ranging from black raspberries through to candied orange, but also notes of raw meat and licorice. Super-concentrated, super-structured, but also more elegant than a wine built on this monumental scale can theoretically be. Extremely long, complete finish. A cuvee of 80% grenache, 10% syrah and 10% mourvedre. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.

97 points, Stuart Pigott, James Suckling (May 2023)

Lastly, and surpassing what the estate achieved in 2019, the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape Lucile Avril is based on 80% Grenache and 10% each of Syrah and Mourvedre that was brought up all in concrete tanks. It's the deepest ruby-colored wine in the lineup and boasts a brilliant perfume of pure blackberries, ground pepper, licorice, dried garrigue, leather, and Asian spice. Pure, seamless, incredibly elegant, and full-bodied, it's another straight-up gorgeous wine from this team that readers will love to have in their cellar.
