The 2022 Côtes Du Rhône is clearly better, with a more medium to full-bodied, round, textured style. It's a classy, old-school effort (the abv is 11.5%) that has some gamey blue fruits and mulberry nuances, plenty of peppery, violet notes, ripe tannins, and a great finish.
More classically Cornas in style compared to the domaine’s Vin des Amis cuvée this year, it's quite animal in style. Full-bodied, with marked acidity and tight tannins. Explosively flavoursome but not as long on the finish as some years.
Ripe black cherry, blackberry and cured meat aromas are all nicely layered in the 2022 Côtes-du-Rhône. This fruit-laden red hits the palate with solid concentration and intensity. Balanced by bright acidity and medium-bodied at most, it concludes with good drive on the refreshing finale
