95/97

Also all Grenache, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Val De Dieu is based on 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre that's mostly from sandy soils. Still resting in demi-muid and old barrels, it has a sappy flower, garrigue, incredibly Provençal style as well as beautiful darker raspberry and strawberry fruit, medium to full body, solid mid-palate depth and concentration, and ripe, building tannins. It's unquestionably up with the top wines in the vintage.

Rig, sødmefuld, koncentreret grenache. Man overvældes, men med ilt finder den balancen og er ren sex på flaske.

A blend of 50% Grenache Noir, 30% Syrah and 20% Mourvèdre and matured for 18 months, with 60% of the wine aged in demi-muids and the remaining 40% in used barrels, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Val de Dieu reveals a deep, complex and fresher bouquet of dark cherries, spices, licorice and lead pencil. Full-bodied, rich and powerful, it's less dense and structured than the other cuvées with a layered, concentrated and deep mid-palate that segues into a long, silky finish. This outstanding wine will evolve gracefully over the next 20 years.

The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Val de Dieu comes in a distinctively refreshing early-harvest style, unwinding with fragrant rose petal, strawberry, red cherry and leafy elements. Full-bodied and sleek, the 2022 packs vivid freshness and a velvety mouthfeel. A long, juicy, uplifting closing rounds it up. So delicious!
