Tasting notes
Evoking a ripe, slightly oxidative bouquet, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape les Grandes Grenachieres d'Hippolyte reveals a dense, elegant bouquet of dark cherries, plum, garrigue and rose petals after time in the glass. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and enveloping, it's dense and layered with structured tannins, a fleshy core of fruit and a harmonious, delicate finish. This 100% Grenache Noir crafted from vines planted on Cabrières and Palestor lieux-dits is a real success.

The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Les Grandes Grenachières D'Hippolyte should be stunning. Ripe cherries, kirsch liqueur, iron, Provençal garrigue, camphor, and savory mineral notes all emerge from this beauty that's medium to full-bodied, has a layered, expansive mouthfeel, beautifully integrated tannins, and a great, great finish. Pure Provençal goodness that has both richness and elegance, I'd be a buyer.
