The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Puy Rolland Vieilles Vignes is derived from old vines of Grenache Noir matured for 18 months in foudres. Evoking aromas of spices, flowers and dark wild berries, it has a lively, pure bouquet, followed by a medium to full-bodied, round and sappy, enrobing and charming palate with good depth at the core and a long, tense and deep finish. This chiseled, intensely perfumed Châteauneuf-du-Pape marries tension and density to a pleasing effect. Kudos!
