Domaine Charvin Chateuneuf du Pape 2022

Domaine Charvin Chateuneuf du Pape 2022This astonishing Chateauneuf du Pape has the enormous aromatic complexity and subtlety that we expect from Grand Cru red Burgundies. Enormous concentration and ample richness on the palate, and the structure behind this is no less impressive. Stacks of very fine tannins. The black and red berry fruit washes over you in a huge wave in the breathtaking licorice finish. So much drive and freshness. Enormous aging potential. From organically grown grapes.

As to the Grand Vin 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape, it's a beautiful example of the vintage and has a perfumed, complex style in its mostly red fruits, peppery garrigue, orange blossom, and potpourri-like aromas and flavors. Playing in the medium to full-bodied end of the spectrum, it's beautifully balanced and has ultra-fine, polished tannins and a great finish. It's already impossible to resist, and while I see no need to delay gratification, it will have 10-15 years of longevity given its balance and nicely integrated structure.
