What Critics Think
Wine Advocate : 95 Points
(5/5/2022) From largely sandy soils, and composed of 90% Grenache (the other 10% is Mourvèdre from the Pignan lieu-dit, also sandy), the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape Piedlong delivers scents of black cherries and ripe plums, tinged with hints of menthol and green stemminess. Give it a couple of years in the cellar, and it should be singing, as it's full-bodied, rich and velvety, while remaining long, vibrant and mouthwatering on the finish. Drink Date: 2023 - 2035.
James Suckling : 96 Points
(4/7/2022) This Chateauneuf beautifully marries the delicate floral side of grenache with stunning depth and lovely richness on the mid-palate. Wonderful, velvety finish that goes on and on, making you want more of this great beauty. Drink or hold.
