Palate: Juicy dark fruits layered with savoury spice, garrigue, and supple tannins.

Cellaring Potential
Delicious now for its bright fruit and silky tannins, but capable of short-term ageing. Drink now to 2028.
While more approachable than the domaine’s flagship Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this 2022 Côtes du Rhône offers exceptional value from one of the Rhône Valley’s top estates. A smart buy for collectors seeking pedigree and drinkability.
