What reviewers say
“Tasty("JMT") ★★★★☆ Value for Money ★★★★☆ This one is gorgeous. Really enjoyed smelling it for a while akin elegant pinot noir. Nice combination of Burgundy’s elegance and Bordeux’s finesse. It reminds me of the Byron’ poem. “She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies, And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes..” Ruby in color. Notes of plum, blackberry, strawberry, cedar, violet, rose. I enjoyed the compexity, especially on the nose.”

How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Château Beauchene Châteauneuf-du-Pape Grande Réserve lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · Francia (72 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 711.
