92 points Matt Walls (Decanter): "Detailed aromatics, featuring smoky herb and spice notes that crackle through the plum, blackberry and damson. Full-bodied, generous, really quite mighty style for a Tradition, with robust tannins. A remarkably regal Tradition that should offer great value for money.Drinking Window: 2028-2034. (9/17/23)"
92 points Nicolas Greinacher (Vinous): "Mixing 80% Grenache with 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvèdre, the perfumed 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape wafts up from the glass with intense notes of violet, ripe strawberry and dried herbs. Leafy undertones add more complexity. Outlined by smooth tannins, the full-bodied 2022 sports remarkable freshness and tapers off with good focus on the elegant finish. Drink: 2025-2037. (Nov 2024)"
91 points Yohan Castaing (Wine Advocate): "The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape, a blend of 54% Grenache Noir, 23% Syrah, 8% Mourvèdre and 15% Cinsault, evokes a gourmand, lively bouquet of cassis, raspberries, dark wild berries and spices. Moderately weighted, round and sappy, it's perfectly balanced with a juicy core of fruit and a long, mouthwatering finish. Matured for 18 months in demi-muids (76%), used barrels (20%) and foudres (4%), this is a classic, well-defined Châteauneuf-du-Pape. (9/26/24)"
91 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The classic 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape checks in as 54% Grenache, 23% Syrah, 15% Cinsault, and the rest Mourvèdre that was aged in foudres, demi-muids, and old barrels. It has a beautiful perfume of sweet red fruits, peppery garrigue, and spicy, Provençal nuances that flow to a medium-bodied 2022 with a ripe, perfumed, sun-kissed style that's already impossible to resist. It's going to shine for a solid 10-12 years, possibly even longer, as there's a solid core of ripe tannins. Drink: 2024-2036. (10/29/24)"
