"Truly a great wine!"
"The crowning jewel of this brilliant winemaker is the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Anonyme, a blend composed of 65% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and a handful of other grape varieties. It is an elegant and classic 2022 wine, offering aromas of sun-drenched red and black fruits, a medium- to full-bodied structure, abundant notes of Provençal garrigue and peppery spices, fine yet powerful tannins, and exceptional length on the palate.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2023)

About the wine:
The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Anonyme offers an elegant and intense bouquet of black cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants, spices, and garrigue. Medium- to full-bodied, full-flavored, and lively, it is enveloping and charming, with structured yet elegant tannins that lead to a long, lively, and airy finish. This blend, composed of 65% Grenache Noir, 15% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, and the remainder in equal parts Muscardin, Picpoul Noir, Vaccarèse, Roussanne, and Counoise, was aged in large oak barrels (20%), concrete tanks (20%), stainless steel tanks (30%), and terracotta jars (30%). It has real aging potential.

About the wine:
A well-structured, full-bodied, and lively Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Aromas of sweet berries, cherries, redcurrants, warm herbs, and a hint of black pepper. Plenty of fruit and orange peel, with a touch of tartness that brings freshness to a delicious, savory, and lively finish with excellent length. Enjoy now or celller.
