Made in a more modern style than the 2007, the dense ruby/purple-tinged 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Juline exhibits more oak as well as notes of espresso, chocolate, blackberries, and cassis. In the mouth, it is dense and monolithic, but very concentrated and impressively made. Give it 3-4 years of cellaring and consume it over the following 10-15 years.This gorgeous portfolio from proprietor Paul Autard includes a classically-styled traditional cuvee, a Cuvee la Cote Ronde, a decidedly modern-styled Chateauneuf du Pape, and the newest offering, the blockbuster Cuvee Juline which, despite the use of barriques for aging, is very much in the traditional school. The 2007s are all brilliant.Represented by Russell Herman, Berkeley Heights, NJ; tel. (908) 771-9082. Various American importers.
