Rasteau
Outside Châteauneuf, the best performing appellation was Rasteau. There were no problems with green tannins here, which Jérôme Bressy of Domaine Gourt de Mautens believes is thanks to the abundance of clay. The 2022 vintage has delivered wines with bright fruit, good concentration and balanced alcohol. They are often robustly tannic however, so pay close attention to drinking windows.

<h3><strong>Cairanne</strong></h3>
<p>There are many good Cairannes as well, which are also more tannic than a typical year. Marcel Richaud reported low yields and grapes with very thick skins.</p>
<p>Most are juicy rather than deep in style, occasionally with subtle herbal nuances, either from use of whole bunches or from blockages in ripening. Cairanne whites are decent if less inspiring than the reds in 2022, and will be best drunk young.</p>

<h3><strong>Vinsobres</strong></h3>
<div class="injection"></div>
<p>Vinsobres largely failed to live up to its potential this year. Wines tend to be either overly soft and alcoholic, or brandish thuggish tannins. There were a few exceptions that managed to find a balance.</p>
