M. Chapoutier Châteauneuf-du-Pape Croix de Bois Rouge 2022
From Maison M. Chapoutier in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône, the Croix de Bois Rouge 2022 is a refined 100% Grenache from a single vineyard near Bédarrides. Sourced from organic and biodynamic vineyards with 50-year-old vines on quartzite galets roulés and sandy red clay soils, it’s hand-harvested and aged 14–16 months in concrete tanks, offering an intense red hue with vibrant complexity.
Tasting Notes
A powerful, elegant red with rich fruit and spicy finesse, showcasing Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s terroir.
The nose reveals blackberry, cassis, and crushed strawberry, with hints of rose petals, licorice, and pepper. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and unctuous, with warm tannins, vibrant acidity, and flavors of black fruit, spice, and a long, mineral finish.
Food Pairings
Pair this red with Western dishes like grilled steak or lamb chops to highlight its bold fruit and spice. For Chinese cuisine, try 紅燒牛肉, 烤鴨, 孜然羊肉, 醬燒排骨, 香辣牛柳, or 滷牛腱 to complement its full body and peppery notes. Ideal for hearty dinners or festive occasions.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at 16°C with one hour of decanting to enhance aromas. Enjoy now or cellar until 2042 for added complexity. Explore our Châteauneuf-du-Pape collection for more Grenache classics.
