Your inside access to a Châteauneuf legend
Château Sixtine is the powerful flagship release from Châteauneuf’s legendary Diffonty family. It hails from 2019, a vintage that Decanter called “exceptional…combining elegance and power…highly impressive” and Wine Enthusiast rated 94 points overall.
So, it should come as no surprise that top Rhône critic Jeb Dunnuck was particularly smitten with Jean-Marc Diffonty’s luxury cuvée. He rated it 93-95 points: “Rich yet incredibly polished, seamless” (see full quote below right). Matt Walls of Decanter was also impressed, calling it “aromatically well integrated. Very silky with great finesse on the palate. 93 points.”
Speaking of iconic, the most famous critic of all, Robert Parker, has long been a fan too. The first case of Châteauneuf he ever bought was made by the Diffonty family and he calls current proprietor Jean-Marc Diffonty an “innovative visionary” in this historic village. If you haven’t yet tried one of Jean-Marc’s wines, his flagship red is the place to start, and WSJwine fans enjoy special access to this very special release.
