Description
With an excellent score of 90 points from Vinous, the 2022 Clos du Calvaire Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a decidedly elegant expression of the typically powerful Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. It opens with a stylish bouquet of ripe blackberries, dried herbs, and a hint of garrigue, highlighted by notes of pepper and earth. The medium-bodied palate is balanced and supple, supported by a refined tannic structure. Ready to drink now with an aging potential of two to three years, it's a great match with grilled meats, poultry, and veggie casseroles.
Cheese Pairing: Etorki
Jeb Dunnuck: 91 Points
Sweet strawberry and assorted red fruits, spring flowers, and minty garrigue notes all emerge from the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a forward, beautifully pure, elegant red that has a kiss of minerality, ripe tannins, and outstanding length. Based on 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 10% Mourvèdre, and smaller amounts of Cinsault and Counoise, brought up mostly in larger foudre, it's going to shine over the coming 8-10 years.
Vinous: 90 Points
Aged for one year in a combination of foudres (70%) and stainless-steel tanks (30%), the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape evokes enticing orange rind, raspberry, strawberry and dried herbs. Medium- to full-bodied and refined, the 2022 is full of energy. It will provide ample pleasure, even in its youth.
