Château Saint-Roch, Châteauneuf Du Pape Rouge, 2022

The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge from Château Saint-Roch is a bold and expressive Southern Rhône red, offering a deep ruby color and rich aromas of black cherry, plum, garrigue, and cracked pepper. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and generous, with ripe dark fruit, warm spice, and earthy undertones. The tannins are smooth yet structured, and the finish is long and savory, showcasing the wine’s depth and regional character.

Produced from a classic blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, sourced from old vines rooted in the stony soils of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, this wine reflects both power and finesse. Château Saint-Roch, guided by the Brunel family, focuses on minimal oak influence to preserve the purity of fruit and the identity of the terroir. The 2022 vintage is approachable now but has the structure to age gracefully for several years.
