This year, Sophie Armenier produced only one cuvée, incorporating the old vines into this blend. However, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape from Domaine de Marcoux reveals a deep, complex bouquet of spices, chocolate, dark wild berries and garrigue complemented by delicate notes of tapenade. Medium to full-bodied, round and concentrated, it's rich without being heavy and framed by a fleshy core of fruit, a sweet, enveloping mid-palate and concludes with a long, saline finish. Considering the challenges of the vintage, particularly the significant downy mildew in the vineyard that affects the yield, this wine is a great success. Kudos! This is a blend of 85% Grenache Noir and the rest a mix of Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault, all matured in a combination of foudres, concrete tanks, barrels and amphorae.

At eye level with the delicious 2020, the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is an instant classic. Fragrant raspberry, orange blossom, licorice, lavender and white pepper are all nicely delineated. Polished and full-bodied, the 2022 will start to show its full potential in around three years. It should easily celebrate its 15th birthday in style. (93) NICOLAS GREINACHER, Vinous
