Jeb Dunnuck: 96 Points
The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape showed brilliantly. Ripe red and black fruits, classic Provençal garrigue, and leather, spicy notes define the aromatics, and it's a layered, balanced, incredibly classy style (I actually find a touch of Clos des Papes-like character in this beauty) that has integrated tannins, no hard edges, and a gorgeous finish. It's going to be a candidate for perfection at maturity and is a thrilling wine in the making.
James Suckling: 95 Points
Fragrant, rich and graceful, this is a ravishingly beautiful Chateauneuf. The forest berry and wildflower aromas are hedonistic and very precise. The interplay of super-fine tannins and fruit on the full-bodied palate is spot on. Long, very silky and vibrant finish. Just bottled. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold.
Vinous: 94 Points
The inviting 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is at eye level with the gorgeous 2020. Showcasing ripe forest strawberry, black cherry, licorice, crushed violet and licorice, the 2022 is simply alluring. Ripe and polished tannins provide good structure and lay a solid foundation for extended bottle-aging. This year’s blend is 65% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 12% Mourvèdre and 8% Syrah. Tasted twice with consistent notes.
