Domaine Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape 2022
A stunning vintage for one of the most storied estates in the Southern Rhone, Clos des Papes hits it out of the park again. The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape is showing beautifully, with the sun-kissed style of the vintage yet more depth and density than most in the vintage. Blackberries, Provençal garrigue, spice, and saddle leather all define the aromatics, and it hits the palate with the classic elegance of the estate in its medium to full-bodied, layered, multi-dimensional style. It's one of the wines of the vintage and will have two decades of longevity. Absolutely stunning.
