2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Domaine des Saumades, Rhône

Description

Tasted from barrel.

With 95% Grenache, 2022 yielded another smaller vintage due to drought, meaning incredible intensity and concentration. The nose offers red fruits, dried herbs, and lavender. A palate of black cherry, blackberry, and a touch of garrigue is framed by supple tannins and vibrant acidity. The finish is slightly closed, so this would certainly benefit from bottle age, but the texture is fine and silky.

Drink 2025 - 2038

Critics reviews

Jeb Dunnuck 89-91/100

Ripe black fruits, peppery herbs, smoked meat, and spicy notes all emerge from the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a classic, old-school, mouth-filling, and structured 2022. It's not overflowing with finesse and elegance, yet it brings classic, old-school aromas and flavours and has a layered, satisfying style that will drink well for a decade.

About this wine

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The largest and most important appellation in the southern Rhône, with more than 3,200 hectares of vineyards and over 80 growers, Châteauneuf-du-Pape produces more wine than the whole of the northern Rhône combined. The gloriously rich red wines, redolent of the heat and herbs of the south, are enhanced by the complexity which comes from blending several of the 14 permitted grape varieties including Grenache, Mourvèdre and Syrah.
