"The 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Quartz mixes 80% Grenache with 20% Syrah from the Les Cassanets lieu-dit. Vinified from fully destemmed grapes, the 2022 evokes vivid peppercorn, red and black cherry, licorice and violet elements. Elegant and refreshing, this is a terrific Les Quartz that perfectly integrates the 15.08% alcohol. Tasted twice with consistent notes." -Nicolas Greinacher

"An exquisite wine and one of the greatest examples of the vintage that I encountered during my journey in the region, the 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Quartz exhales a deep, powerful bouquet of lilac, dark cherries, garrigue, dark wild berries, lead pencil and flowers. It's full-bodied, pure and crystalline, with a deep, multidimensional core of fruit, vibrant acids and a long, sappy finish. This blend of 80% Grenache Noir and 20% Syrah, crafted from vines planted on sandy soils in the parcel of Les Cassanets, is a strong candidate for the wine of the vintage." -Yohan Castaing

"Dark in colour, this has intriguing herbal depths. Not massive, but it has an enjoyably compact frame, no lack of concentration, and serious intensity leading to a long finish. It’s vibrant, with amazing purity and clarity of flavour. Grown half on large pebbles, half on sand in lieu-dit Les Cassanets, destemmed, then fermented in tronconic concrete vats, then matured mostly in demi-muids and old barriques except for 7% in amphora."
