"Compared to the 1994, the 1995 Châteauneuf-du-Pape exhibits more purple nuances in its deep ruby color. The fruit is sweeter, and the wine reveals more glycerin, alcohol, and tannin. It is more powerful, larger-scaled, and bigger, with good structure, and a touch of toasty vanillin (as if a new barrel or two may have been used in this wine's upbringing). The 1995 is a potentially outstanding example from Lucien Barrot, an underrated Châteauneuf-du-Pape producer whose wines remain very reasonably priced for such quality."

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.
