Reviews

Jeb Dunnuck 92-94

I always love this cuvee, and the 2022 Chateauneuf Du Pape is an exceedingly elegant, Burgundian, complex beauty offering the ripe, perfumed aromatics of the vintage while staying fresh, focused, and lively on the palate. It has a floral, pretty, balanced style that will deliver ample pleasure in its youth yet will evolve for 10-12+ years if well stored.

James Suckling 92

A robust, toasty and structured red with notes of sweet berries, charred bark and roasted meat. Full-bodied with firm tannins. Vivid core of fruit at the center with a firm development on the finish. Driven and solid. Try after 2026.

Vinous Media 90

The 2022 Chateauneuf-du-Pape Tradition comes in at 15.6% alcohol, more than one percent above the level reached in 2021. Aged for eight months in a combination of foudres (30%), stainless steel (30%) and concrete tanks (40%), the 2022 displays vivid garrigue, strawberry, raspberry and licorice aromas. Framed by soft tannins and refreshing acidity, the 2022 balances the elevated alcohol remarkably well and checks out with a bright finish.

Wine Advocate 91

The 2022 Chateauneuf du Pape from Domaine du Pere Caboche evokes a fresh, gourmand bouquet of dark cherries, flowers and ripe red berries. Medium-bodied, delicate and sweet, it's layered and round with a juicy core of fruit and a penetrating, long finish. This blend of 80% Grenache Noir, 15% Syrah and 5% Mourvedre, all partly destemmed and matured in a combination of concrete tanks (40%), foudres (30%) and stainless steel (30%) for eight months, is a classic in the making.

Technical Details

History

Jean-Pierre Boisson, former long-serving mayor of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, runs Domaine Père Caboche with his children Emily & Nicolas. Members of the Boisson family have been both winemakers and blacksmiths for generations. The family nickname of Caboche derives from the old Provencal word for ‘horseshoe nails’.

Tasting notes

The color is a beautiful ruby shine. The nose expresses a character asserted, chocolate and smoked on a background of red and black fruits light peppery spice. The notes of ginger and menthol offer up a beautiful freshness. On the palate, this wine is expressive, focused on freshness and minerality. It has a beautiful length on fruit and spices.

Terroir

The 4 main terroirs of the appellation are represented in this wine (Limestone, pebbles, sandstone/clays, sand) the most important being the famous plateau of the Crau with its pebbles which are ideal for Grenache.

Vinification

Harvesting is carried out by hand picking each plot separately. The grapes are harvested at full maturity and carefully sorted, then slightly destemmed and crushed. Then fermentation takes place under strict temperature control. After the final blend is determined, the wine is aged in oak and stainless-steel tanks for 12 months.
