The Domaine de Marcoux Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2022 stands as one of the greatest wines of the vintage, named the 2nd best wine in the world by Jeb Dunnuck. This exceptional cuvée embodies the finesse and intensity of Grenache, enhanced by a precise aging process that highlights the purity of the fruit. The nose captivates with deep aromas of black cherry, candied raspberry, soft spices, and garrigue. On the palate, the balance is perfect between richness, freshness, and impressive length. A Châteauneuf-du-Pape of remarkable precision, built for long aging, rivaling the greatest Rhône wines.

Why choose this wine:
The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape is an excellent example of the vintage and presents a lovely, perfumed style, incredibly Provençal in its aromas and flavors of red fruits, savory garrigue, spices and pepper. With medium-bodied richness, a balanced, elegant palate and ripe tannins, it already offers pleasure today, but given its balance and the quality of its tannins, it will shine for 10 to 15 years if kept well. The blend is composed of 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 7% Syrah and 3% Cinsault, vinified entirely in concrete and aged almost entirely in concrete vats. There are no Vieilles Vignes in the vintage because of hail and low yields due to drought, so I suspect this cuvée benefited from the inclusion of some really excellent fruit that would normally have been used for Vieilles Vignes. It's one of the best classic cuvées I can remember, and should be on the shopping list without hesitation.
