93pts James Suckling
A dense and focused blend of grenache, syrah and mourvedre, offering aromas of sweet cherries, chocolate, warm spices and hints of dried herbs. It’s full-bodied with fine tannins that provide a caressing framework to the generous red fruit. Lovely lift of spice in the vivid, persistent finish.

Rocking red fruit, peppery garrigue, sandalwood, and spring flower notes define the 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 15% Mourvèdre. From a mix of terroirs and aged in mostly in concrete, as well as demi-muid, oak barrel, stainless steel, and foudre, it's medium-bodied, has a pure, layered, elegant mouthfeel, sweet tannins, and a great finish. I love its sunny yet still fresh and vibrant profile, and it's perfect for drinking over the coming decade. -Jeb Dunnuck, Oct 202

The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape opens with spicy garrigue, ripe strawberry and black cherry aromas. With firm tannins providing solid structure, the full-bodied and concentrated 2022 needs at least two more years in a cool cellar to come together. A savory finale of good length rounds it up.
90pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape from Domaine de la Charbonnière reveals a dense, deep and ripe bouquet of mulberries, baked dark berries and spices, followed by a medium to full-bodied, dense and enrobing, sweet and concentrated palate with structured tannins and a long, dense finish. This is a blend of 70% Grenache Noir, 15% Syrah and 15% Mourvèdre. -Yohan Castaing, Sep 2024
