Der Clos des Papes rouge 2022 ist ein eleganter Wein mit einer sehr seidigen Struktur und einer schönen Nachhaltigkeit. Ein sehr ausgewogener Wein. Er weist wie so oft Merkmale von roten Früchten (Kirschen, Himbeeren), aber auch von schwarzen Früchten (schwarze Johannisbeeren, Brombeeren) auf. Man findet ebenso einen würzigen Charakter getrockneter Kräuter. Dies ist zweifellos ein Lagerwein, da er eine sehr schöne Frische aufweist.


Presse / Kritik
Decanter: 96 / 100 Punkte (TOP scoring Chateauneuf du Pape 2022)
"A touch less Mourvèdre this year, but not enough to change the profile of the wine, which is fairly classic albeit pretty bombastic in 2022. Raspberry and black cherry, ripe and exuberant. Full but not massive, the alcohol is present, slightly warming the finish. Tannins are a little grainy, so I would give this time to settle before broaching. Succulent and juicy, with a touch of liquorice. Vincent Avril believes the wine could close down quite early on. So drink young, or (even better) wait until 2030. All destemmed, aged in old foudres. Drinking window: 2030-2042"
J. Livingstone-Learmonth: 5 / 6 Sterne
"Dark robe; has a sultry, lingering nose, intensity in it, shows Mourvèdre meatiness and also licorice, spreads a herbal air. The palate holds firm gras with touches of freshness, cedar, its blackcurrant-blackberry fruit well centred. The tannins are tasty, inside. It certainly has foundation, fond, and also rather solid length, is a complete wine with high potential, well set, shows black olives, attractive southern tones towards the finish. It’s a strong ****(*), maybe into *****. “It has tannins, is fresh, very Clos des Papes it is; we lost a bit of Mourvèdre from the hail, which lowered the yield to 18 hl/ha, against 25 hl/ha in 2023 and 2020; the blend adjusted, too – 65% Grenache, 25% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, down 5% on Mourvèdre and 3% on Syrah,” Vincent Avril. From 2028. 2050-53"
Wine Advocate: 97-99 / 100 Punkte
"The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape is a richly concentrated effort, dark-fruited and loaded with black cherries and blackberries, yet it's not without nuance, as it includes hints of asphalt, truffle and dried spices. Full-bodied, deep and velvety, with a long, softly dusty finish, it looks to be a real beauty, capable of aging up to two decades. Drink 2025-2045."
J. Dunnuck: 97-99 / 100 Punkte
"The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape reminds me of the 2007 with its incredible sexiness and seamless, elegant texture. Black cherry liqueur, Provençal herbs, flowers, and licorice are just some of its nuances, and it's full-bodied, with a layered mouthfeel, gorgeous tannins, and a great, great finish. Tasted from multiple foudre, this is unquestionably up with the finest in the vintage, and as I’ve written in the past, it’s almost impossible to have too much Clos des Papes in the cellar!"

Das Weingut
Zitat J. Livingstone-Learmonth: "Gold standard estate, joy to taste only one red, one white, so good blending is crucial. The yields are always very low – not much more than 20 hl/ha, which serves to concentrate the red wine, and there is an above average emphasis on the Mourvèdre, all planted in clay soils. The blend is now usually 55% Grenache, 30% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, 5% various including white grapes, having been 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah, 5% various including white grapes into the early 2010s. The 2014 red was utterly charming, a real en finesse ****(*) beauty, while the 2015 is logically a bolder, more demanding ***** wine, requiring patience. The ***** 2016 red is deep and long, a vintage that will age extremely well. The whites drink well in their first couple of years, then back off, close down, and emerge as more complex, stimulating wines around seven years' old; they live well and deserve a top table accompaniment."
