“The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vielles Vignes jumps at you with perfumed orange rind, fresh violets, and ripe red and black fruits, all paired with licorice and spice box aromas. Neatly maintaining balancing freshness, velvety tannins envelop the 2022. It checks out with a refined and juicy conclusion.”
“The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Vieilles Vignes is along the same lines yet brings more mid-palate depth and richness. Kirsch liqueur, orange blossom, white pepper, Provençal garrigue, and gorgeous spice notes all shine here, and it's medium to full-bodied, has a deep, layered mouthfeel, ultra-fine tannins, and a great finish. Based on 75% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 4% Vaccarèse, 3% Mourvèdre, and 3% Cinsault, it's a gem of a wine and in this vintage appears to be a solid step up over the classic cuvée.”
