Julevin fra øverste hyldeAf Benny Doré den 26. november 2024
Så er årgang 2022 af Châteauneuf du Pape Rouge Tradition fra Domaine de la Solitude på vej. Den skulle arrivere på torsdag, men kan allerede nu bestilles på hjemmesiden. Vi er i julehumør og giver ekstra rabat ved 6 flasker.
Her får du en velstøbt Châteauneuf du Pape i verdensklasse lavet på 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault og 5% Counoise. Alt sidder lige i skabet med lag på lag af modne røde bær, garrigue, krydderier, cacao og lakrids. Flot i sin ungdom, men med god gemmepotentiale. En sand perle!
James Suckling: 94 points'Very attractive nose of raspberries, licorice and oranges with a touch of summer flowers. Round and silky on the full-bodied palate, the ample tannins are beautifully integrated, making the long, refined finish velvety. A cuvee of 65% greanche, 20% syrah, and 5% each of mourvedre, counoise and cinsault from biodynamically grown grapes. Drink or hold.'JebDunnuck.com: 94 points'The deeper ruby-hued 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape is based on 65% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and the rest equal parts Mourvèdre, Cinsault, and Counoise that was raised in concrete tank (90%) and new oak (10%). Wild strawberries, raspberries, spring flowers, and a kiss of black pepper define the aromatics, and this beauty hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a pure, layered mouthfeel, and integrated tannins. Its balance as well as its purity are spot on, and savvy readers should snatch this up. It's not going to make terribly old bones (and I don't suspect many 2022s will), but it's a gorgeous effort to enjoy over the coming 10-12 years.'Robert Parker: 91 points'Macerated for 30 days, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape from Domaine de la Solitude, a blend of 65% Grenache Noir, 20% Syrah, 5% Mourvèdre, 5% Cinsault and 5% Counoise, offers up aromas of dark cherries, rose, violets, dark wild berries and licorice. Medium-bodied, round and enveloping, it's perfectly juicy with a sappy mid-palate, concluding with a fresh, penetrating finish. This is a classic, elegant Châteauneuf-du-Pape, partly destemmed and matured for 15 months in concrete tanks (90%) and the rest in new barrels.'
