La Bastide Saint Dominique Chateauneuf du Pape 2022

Blackberries, ripe cherries, roasted garrigue, and meaty, Provençal notes all emerge from the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a medium to full-bodied, plump, rounded, delicious 2022 offering plenty of mid-palate depth and sweet tannins.

The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape from La Bastide Saint Dominique reveals an elegant, gourmand bouquet of dark cherries, flowers, spices and chocolate. Medium to full-bodied with a juicy core of fruit, it's well-balanced, layered and enveloping with a charming, velvety mid-palate that segues into a fresh, ethereal finish. This blend of 80% Grenache Noir, 10% Syrah, 7% Mourvèdre and 3% Cinsault matured in stainless steel and concrete tanks. It can be drunk any time over the next decade and over.

The 2022 Chateauneuf-du-Pape has a narrow lead over the 2021. Showcasing ripe red fruits, licorice, gravel and a dash of white pepper, the 2022 is harmonious and polished. Offering good substance and a juicy core of fruit, the open-knit 2022 will be accessible right after release.
