92-94. A blend of 90% Grenache and 100% Mourvèdre (Pignan). The 2022 Châteauneuf du Pape Piedlong sees a touch of stems and is raised in larger foudre for two years. It’s another up-front. Sexy. Perfumed 2022 with spiced red and black fruits, garrigue, and savory flower notes to go with a medium to full-bodied. Layered style on the palate. It has plenty of tannins, but this beauty will show well right out of the gate.
