"It reveals an opaque purple color, and a tight but backward nose that reluctantly gives up scents of flowers, licorice, and toasty new oak. The wine is full-bodied, with plenty of grip, tannin, and concentration. It is a well-defined, rich, full-bodied Chateauneuf du Pape that could easily be mistaken for a grand cru red Burgundy."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
