Pierre Troupel Chateauneuf Du Pape 2022

Pierre Troupel represents a négociant-style offering from the Rhône Valley, sourcing fruit from vineyards within the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. This historic region is known for its diverse soils—particularly galets roulés (rounded stones)—which retain heat and aid in ripening, contributing to the depth and power of the wines.

The blend is typically Grenache-dominant, supported by Syrah, Mourvèdre, and other permitted varieties. The 2022 vintage was shaped by warm, dry conditions across the Southern Rhône, resulting in ripe fruit, concentration, and well-developed tannins.

Winemaking generally includes fermentation in temperature-controlled tanks, with extended maceration to extract colour and structure. Ageing takes place in a combination of large oak vessels and barrels, allowing for integration while preserving the wine’s fruit-driven core and regional character.
