Reviewed July 2024A seductive, round and velvety red based on 85% grenache, mourvedre, bourboulenc, syrah, cinsault and others. The nose reveals notes of wild berries, currants, candied cherries, wild herbs and stones. It's full-bodied with finely grained tannins. It has a delicate touch to it, elegant, balanced and silky. Controlled power with bright fruit and a fresh, pure finish. Long and developing, with plenty of pepper and vibrancy. Try from 2027.

The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape from Bravey is complex and upfront, with spicy, peppery red fruit, loads of garrigue and incense nuances, medium body, a focused, elegant mouthfeel, building tannins, and a great finish. Drink this remarkably Provençal, complex, satisfying 2022 over the coming decade. The 2022 is a normal blend of 85% Grenache, 6% Mourvèdre, 4% Bourboulenc, 3% Syrah, and 2% Cinsault, from the La Bertaude, Cabrières, and Maucoil lieux-dits, that was raised all in concrete.

Sloe and elderberry with liquorice notes, quite a savoury expression. Soft, smooth, yielding, with ripe tannin and well-balanced acidity. Will drink well young and into the medium term, in a savoury, food-friendly style.(MW)

Vinous
Licorice, ripe red fruits, dried herbs and a pinch of violets launch the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Compared to a barrel sample tasted earlier this year, the once grippy tannins have evolved toward more refinement. Balanced by bright acidity, the full-bodied 2022 should start showing at its prime with an additional four years of bottle-aging. That said, it cannot compete with the more complete 2020 version.(NG)
