"New Star"

“The next generation is on the rise in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. With this first vintage, the Mayard brothers are off to a strong start. This wine is a major success. With great aromatic elegance, it exudes notes of flowers and wild strawberries. An intense, full-bodied yet refined wine, with delicate tannins and deep fruit. There is a sense of serenity in this wine, combining freshness and ripeness, with acidity that carries it through to a long finish. Sumptuous.” (RVF Magazine No. 674 – October 2023)

About the wine:

The next generation is on the rise in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. With this first vintage, the Mayard brothers are off to a strong start. This wine is a major success. With great aromatic elegance, it exudes scents of flowers and wild strawberries. An intense, full-bodied yet refined wine, with delicate tannins and deep fruit. There is a sense of serenity in this wine, which combines freshness and ripeness, along with acidity that lends it a long finish. Sumptuous.

About the estate:

The 2021 split from Vignobles Mayard allowed Arthur and Hugo to pursue their own vision for the region’s wines across about ten hectares of vineyards in Châteauneuf and two in the Côtes du Rhône. The winery is located right in the heart of the village. The vineyard spans diverse geological formations representative of the appellation: the “Grande Coulée” with its rounded pebbles; “Les Serres”; the northern slope of the Crau plateau with its sandy soils; and “Le Pointu,” where Mourvèdre reigns supreme. We appreciated the elegance and graceful mouthfeel of the wines presented. We will be keeping a close eye on the estate’s development.

Review by Mr. PATRICK D. Posted on January 16, 2026

I was a little disappointed by this wine, which has received unanimous praise from the press. I didn’t find the structure and fruitiness that had been described. I’ll have to try another vintage.
