The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Trois Sources comes from a terroir similar to the Reserve and is based on 70% Grenache, 10% Cinsault, 5% each Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Counoise, and the rest a mix of varieties. Ripe blackberries, roasted garrigue, loamy soil, licorice, and a kiss of graphite all emerge on the nose, and this beauty hits the palate with medium to full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, beautiful yet building tannins, and a great finish. It's slightly more open and expressive than the Les Hauts-Lieux, yet I suspect both of these cuvées will cruise for two decades.

Good sense of vibrancy, very much on the red fruit. Full but not massive, good acidity and sense of freshness. The tannins are quite chewy and fairly robust, so give this time. Lots of energy on the long finish, it’s well balanced and not overly full. Slightly leathery touch to the tannins. Three terraces on sandy soils. Grenache, Cinsault, Syrah, Counoise, Mourvèdre, Muscardin, Terret Noir, Vaccarèse, Grenache Blanc, Clairette and Picardan, with an average age of 75 years, all coplanted and cofermented. (MW)

A serious, well-made and lively Chateauneuf-du-Pape with blackberries, plums, peppercorns and a hint of leather. It's full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Driven and precise, with succulent fruit and spice giving a flavorful, persistent finish. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification.

Crafted from vines planted in the Cabrières sector on sandy soils, the 2022 Les Trois Sources, a blend of 60% Grenache mix-planted with Syrah, Cinsault, Counoise and Mourvèdre, offers aromas of rose, peony, iris, dark cherries and violets. Medium to full-bodied, structured and dense, it’s perfectly balanced with a long, tense and elegant core of fruit and a mineral, delicately bitter finish. More floral than Clavin, it could age over the next decade and over.
