La Font Du Loup Chateauneuf Du Pape Legend 2022

The Legend 2022 from Château de la Font du Loup is a rare and precious cuvée, produced in just 83 cases. Dominated by 70% Mourvèdre and complemented by 30% Grenache, this vintage benefits from careful aging in demi-muids, with some foudres and a touch of new barrels. Its deep ruby hue precedes an intense nose, where spiced red and black fruits, peppery garrigue, and crushed stone blend seamlessly, evolving into delicate floral notes with aeration. On the palate, this wine delivers a silky texture, refined elegance, and remarkable precision, with a captivating length. A powerful yet harmonious Châteauneuf-du-Pape, it will gain further complexity after 2 to 4 years of cellaring and will shine for over a decade. A rare gem not to be missed! – J. Dunnuck
