Vieux Telegraphe Chateauneuf-du-Pape 'Piedlong' 2022

"The 2022 Châteauneuf Du Pape Piedlong comes from the pebbly soils of the Piedlong lieu-dit (although I always find a certain sandy terroir-like influence from this vineyard) and is mostly Grenache. Black raspberries, wild strawberries, spring flowers, chalky minerality, and peppery nuances all emerge from this beauty, and it's medium to full-bodied on the palate, with a silky, elegant style. It has a kiss of Pignan-like style, and I love its overall elegance and finesse. It's going to drink nicely over the coming 10-12 years." 94pts Jeb Dunnuck
