Crafted by the historic family producer Domaine Aimé Arnoux, the 2022 Sélection Parcellaire Châteauneuf-du-Pape captures the classic power and refined elegance of the Southern Rhône Valley. Sourced from old vines rooted in red clay and galets roulés, this cuvée blends Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. Ageing in oak foudres and barrels imparts subtle complexity to its vibrant fruit profile. The 2022 vintage reveals an alluring array of red berries, warm spices, and delicate earthy nuances. Balanced by fine, silky tannins and a lingering oak-tinged finish, this sophisticated red offers remarkable structure and authentic Rhônish character suitable for cellaring or immediate enjoyment.
