Also all Grenache, the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Val De Dieu is based on 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, and the rest Mourvèdre that's mostly from sandy soils. Still resting in demi-muid and old barrels, it has a sappy flower, garrigue, incredibly Provençal style as well as beautiful darker raspberry and strawberry fruit, medium to full body, solid mid-palate depth and concentration, and ripe, building tannins. It's unquestionably up with the top wines in the vintage.
