80% Grenache Noir, 20% Syrah from 60 year-old vines, yielding only 18 hl/ha. Hand-picked and hand-sorted, 100% destemmed then natural-yeast co-fermented in tronconique wooden casks.

The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Quartz is a return to the blockbuster style of the 2020, yet it retains a sense of freshness. Hints of menthol and crushed stone on the nose accent black cherries and blueberries, while the full-bodied palate is plush and expansive without being at all heavy. Lush and long.

About the region

Rhône Valley · Châteauneuf-du-Pape

The Rhône is really two regions under one name. In the north, between Vienne and Valence, Syrah grows alone on steep granite terraces at Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, Cornas and Saint-Joseph, while Viognier makes the perfumed whites of Condrieu. Further south the valley widens and warms, and Grenache leads blends drawn from a long list of permitted varieties at Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Gigondas and Vacqueyras. The two halves share a river and little else.
