Northern Rhône 2022: Full report and top-scoring wines

  • By Admin
Northern Rhône 2022

Northern Rhône 2022 overall vintage rating: 4/5

Diverse in style and quality due to intense heat and drought. Blockages in ripening were widespread around Cornas and Hermitage, making for some lighter wines with moderate alcohol; others more robust. Côte-Rôtie tends to be soft and velvety. Whites can be overly rich but some are enjoyably powerful and exuberant.


‘Most will drink young and into the medium term, but the more tannic, structured wines will take a long time to soften, then age for decades’
