The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits lovely fruit, plenty of Grenache (in this cuvee it is 90% Grenache and the rest Mourvedre), a deep ruby/purple color, and admirable finesse and elegance in a pure, impressively endowed style that is long, ripe, round, and beautifully balanced. It should drink well for 10-12 years. In the northernmost sector of Chateauneuf, the Chaussy family run this fine estate that has been making brilliant Chateauneuf du Pape for over a decade. Frugal consumers should check out their Cotes du Rhones, which are made just outside the appellation. Their wines are extremely pure and emphasize the red fruits in the regular Chateauneuf du Pape, and slightly darker fruits with additional minerality in their top selection, the Cuvee du Quet, which is usually a two-thirds blend of Grenache and the rest a whopping 30 or 35% Mourvedre.Importer: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; tel.
