Chateauneuf-du-Pape Clos du Calvaire 2022
The nose is expressive and rich, offering ripe dark fruits - particularly black cherries and blackberries - complemented by classic garrigue herbs, black pepper, and subtle notes of sun-warmed stones. The aromatic profile shows both the ripeness of 2022 and the complexity typical of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
On the palate, the wine displays impressive concentration while maintaining energy. The texture is full and rounded, with ripe tannins providing elegant structure. The blend shows excellent integration, with layers of dark fruit and Mediterranean herbs carried by good acidity despite the warm vintage conditions. The finish is long and warming, with fruit and spice notes persisting, underscored by subtle minerality from the region's characteristic galets roulés.
