Robert Parker (98)

In certain vintages, I actually prefer this wine—from 35-year-old vines in Pignan (Nord)—to the La Guigasse. The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Grand Pin offers up compelling aromas of rose petals, exotic dried spices, cherries and raspberries. It's full-bodied and expansive in the mouth but somehow remains light and airy in feel, finishing with a wonderfully silky texture and awesome length.

100% Grenache. Whole-bunch fermentation. Aged for 24 months in demi-muids. Certified organic. Cask sample.
Tasted blind. Quite shy on the nose, with red fruits and spice. Wonderful energy on the palate and a firm, taut backbone of sandy, fine-grained tannins. The sweet red-fruit mid palate is brimming with vibrancy and vitality and a savoury, earthy note underneath adds complexity. Effortless on the palate but with great concentration of fruit. (AC)

Strawberry compote, pressed violets, orange blossom, raspberry and pinch of dried herbs unveil the alluring 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Grand Pin. Full-bodied, powerful and concentrated, the 2022 is almost at the end of its 24-month élevage in foudres, showing gentle structure. This is highly enjoyable and quite promising.

The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Grand Pin looks to be outstanding and brings more richness and depth than normal. Black raspberries, mulberries, sappy garrigue, pepper, and some mineral notes all shine in this beauty, which is medium to full-bodied, has a seamless mouthfeel, and enough tannic structure and acidity to benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age. It's going to be brilliant.
