"Gorgeous nose of crushed berries and juniper draws you in, while a lush palate of still-youthful plum, red currant and blackberry fruit envelops you. Then an undertow of roasted game bird, soppressata, tar and well-aged balsamic with a touch of sweetness carry the finish. Awesome showing. [1995 Châteauneuf-du-Pape retrospective.]"

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.
