Rhone Red Blends
from Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France
winemaker's notes:
The 2001 vintage of this wine was ranked #7 on the Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 2003
This great wine comes from the best terroirs of the appellation. The traditional culture of the vineyard, in Pest since many years, can make the most of.
The symphony of the thirteen varieties we get a great complexity in our wines. The main grape varieties (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvedre, Cinsault) expressed remarkably in this fabulous terroir, and are complemented by other traditional varietals (Counoise, Terret, Muscardin, Vaccarèse)
The harvest is still entirely manual - and as was once-, two buckets, to sort the grapes directly to select the finest grapes, ripe and healthy, the only ones capable of giving Big Vins.
The 2006 vintage is a great vintage. The wines have great aromatic expression,
many rounded tannins present but never bulky, with a nice character.
