“This astonishing 2022 Chateauneuf has giant depth and concentration of black fruit aromas with notes of spices and dry earth, beneath which is a deep foundation of super-fine tannins. Very long, imposing finish with stacks of licorice and black olive character. Great aging potential. Drinkable now, but best from 2025.”
From three lieux dits – Le Piallon, Girardette and Faguerol all just outside the village (east of) Châteauneuf all planted in the same year – 1902 and on sand.
Nearly 120 years old and the authentic field blend of 92% Grenache and the rest of the 12 varieties of Châteauneuf. 40% whole-cluster. All concrete aged. Unfined and unfiltered.
