This astonishing Chateauneuf-du-Pape has the enormous aromatic complexity and subtlety that we expect from Grand Cru red Burgundies. Enormous concentration and ample richness on the palate, and the structure behind this is no less impressive. Stacks of very fine tannins. The black and red berry fruit washes over you in a huge wave in the breathtaking licorice finish. So much drive and freshness. Enormous aging potential. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Another highlight this year, Charvin's 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape exhales a complex, floral bouquet of violet, rose petals, dark cherries, spices and menthol intertwined with delicate garrigue notes. Medium to full-bodied and fine-boned with a layered core of fruit, bright acids and velvety tannins, it finishes long and ethereal with a delicate tannic frame thanks to whole bunches. This blend of 80% Grenache, 7% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre and the rest of Vaccarèse and Counoise is one of my favorites this year.
As to the Grand Vin 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape, it's a beautiful example of the vintage and has a perfumed, complex style in its mostly red fruits, peppery garrigue, orange blossom, and potpourri-like aromas and flavors. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it's beautifully balanced and has ultra-fine, polished tannins and a great finish. It's already impossible to resist, and while I see no need to delay gratification, it will have 10-15 years of longevity given its balance and nicely integrated structure.
The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape scores with a redolent perfume of ripe strawberry, raspberry, licorice and rose petal. Ample freshness balances the 15.5% alcohol. Full-bodied, concentrated and framed by a firm tannic corset, the 2022 is a long-distance runner. Patience is advised.
