Domaine Tourbillon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes red 2022

Domaine Tourbillon Vieilles Vignes 2022 is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape of finesse rather than power. Produced from limestone terroirs and old vines, it offers ripe but never heavy fruit, elegant texture and very fine tannins. Where some 2022s can be sun-drenched, this one remains straightforward and digestible, with good tension and a fresh, slightly saline finish. This is a precise, gastronomic wine that will appeal to lovers of balanced rather than demonstrative Châteauneuf. It can be drunk young for its burst of fruit, but also has real ageing potential.
