This report covers the 2022 and 2023 vintages of Ch\u00e2teauneuf-du-Pape. The sunny, typically Proven\u00e7al 2022 vintage produced ripe, expressive wines with aromas of garrigue, Proven\u00e7al herbs and red fruit. Although the wines are moderately concentrated, they are already accessible, charming and should drink well over the next 10 to 12 years. Although not a grand cru, this vintage is reminiscent of years like 2009 and 2011, and is more convincing than 2011, 2013 and 2021. <\/p>\n
The 2023 vintage is more balanced, fleshy and elegant, with darker aromas and medium to full-bodied richness. Compared with 2022, it has greater freshness and a more attractive structure. This vintage looks promising and could offer slightly greater longevity than 2022. The wines are well-balanced, with polished tannins and great purity. This vintage is often compared to 2020 and 2018, but seems to have more potential. <\/p>\n
White wines from the Southern Rh\u00f4ne, mainly made from Grenache Blanc, Roussanne and Clairette, continue to stand out for their quality. The 2023s are fresh, vibrant and accessible, offering great depth while retaining remarkable purity. Although some whites may keep longer, the majority will be at their best in the next 4-6 years. <\/p>\n
