Notes:

The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape a blend of 80% Grenache, 10% Syrah, andthe rest Mourvedre and Cinsault, aged in tank (20%) and old woodfoudres (80%), reveals classic Provencal typicity with its notes ofsweet black cherries, lavender, licorice, roasted herbs, and meat. Softand lush with a luxurious mouthfeel as well as a stunningly silkytexture, this beauty can be enjoyed over the next 10-12 years. RP 90

Whata superlative performance from proprietors Jean-Pierre and ThierryUsseglio. This is one of the few estates where the 2006s are so greatthat they eclipse their brilliant 2005s, and come very close to whatwas accomplished in 2007. 2007 is another stunning success frombrothers Jean-Pierre and Thierry Usseglio.
