Description

“Stylistically, 2023 is clearly different from 2022. Where 2022’s drought produced small berries, high alcohols and dense wines, 2023’s spring rains led to larger berries, finer tannins and brighter fruit. Alcohol levels remain high—often 14.5% and above in Grenache-heavy wines—but acidity is fresher, pH levels more balanced and aromas more defined. The results are particularly striking in the leading appellations. In Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas, wines combine Grenache richness with freshness and a saline edge on the finish. In the glass, the 2023 reds exude energy. The fruit tones tend toward raspberry, wild strawberry and blood orange, lifted by notes of garrigue. The tannins, plentiful but finer-grained than in 2022, convey chalk and tea leaf rather than tar. The wines are ripe but not excessive—pure, charming and elegant in profile, recalling the Rhônes of the 1990s and early 2000s more than its recent past. ”  The Wine Advocate, October 2025
