Crafted from vines planted on calcareous soils with pebbles, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape from Domaine de la Cote de l'Ange, a blend of 65% Grenache Noir, 25% Mourvèdre and 10% Syrah, exhales a floral, delicate and complex bouquet of peony, rose, dark cherries, fresh thyme and spices. Medium to full-bodied, enrobing and enveloping, it's layered and textured with polished, powdery tannins despite a structured, slightly firm finish enhanced by notes of chocolate and kirsch. Matured in equal parts concrete tanks and stainless steel, this is a real success that needs time to chill out.
