The 2022 Rotem & Mounir Saouma Châteauneuf-du-Pape Omnia is an estate red built to represent breadth of place and a deliberate, patient élevage. “Omnia” is Latin for “all,” a fitting name for a wine drawn from nine parcels spread across all five communes of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation: Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Courthézon, Sorgues, Bédarrides, and Orange. In the cellar, Saouma continues a notably non-interventionist, Burgundy-influenced approach, aging the wine in a mix of foudre, cement, and 500-liter barrels. The estate emphasizes long aging with no racking, no fining, and no filtration, with minimal sulfur added after about 18 months. Alcohol is reported variously at 15% (importer information) and 14.5% (retail aggregation), depending on source.

Critically, Omnia has landed an excellent top review from Wine Spectator: 95 points (March 31, 2026). The magazine highlights a style that balances Châteauneuf’s natural power with freshness and detail, calling out how “the gorgeous texture defines this beautiful, perfumy, inviting Châteauneuf.” The note centers on precision and lift as much as richness: “fresh, crunchy red fruit is flecked with exotic spices,” with “incense” and “green, herbal freshness” bringing “lovely lift,” according to Wine Spectator. Structurally, the review points to minerality and tannin shape rather than sheer heft, citing “a chalky feel to the midpalate,” “warm stone and finely crushed mineral notes,” and “grainy tannins.”

Wine Spectator also frames the finish as both persistent and not fully spent, describing it as “smoky and long, with energy in reserve,” and recommends a wide drinking window: “Drink now through 2038.” The blend cited by the publication includes Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and Cinsault, aligning with the estate’s multi-parcel, appellation-spanning intent for this cuvée.
