Wine Critic Reviews

Wine Advocate (93):  The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape Heres from Domaine du Grand Tinel, matured for 12 months in stainless steel tanks and crafted entirely from Grenache vines located in the La Gardiole lieu-dit, evokes a complex, dense bouquet of dark cherries, bay leaf, lead pencil and black olive. Medium to full-bodied, enveloping and dense, it has a fleshy, sweet core of fruit. Supported by a powerful mid-palate and a long, firm finish, this Châteauneuf-du-Pape stands out for its rich texture and depth.  By Yohan Castaing

Vinous Media (91):  A varietal Grenache, like the Alexis Establet cuvée, the 2022 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Hérès tops 16% alcohol, which becomes a little noticeable due to a trace of heat on the intense finish. Nonetheless, the 2022 is a remarkably intricate and concentrated red Châteauneuf, bundling jammy strawberry, melted licorice, dried herbs and red plum tones. Make sure to serve this slightly chilled.   By Nicolas Greinacher on August 2024
