Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2023: Report and top-scoring wines

Châteauneuf-du-Pape performed well in 2023, with some high scores across both reds and whites despite extreme weather which took growers out of their comfort zones.

While we were in the tasting room of La Vieille Julienne with Jean-Paul Daumen and his son Antoine, all of our mobile phones simultaneously sounded the same alarm.

It was to warn people in the vicinity of the Rhône river that it was about to rise to dangerous levels due to storms in the Cévennes mountains.
