A blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and the rest Mourvedre and other varietals, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape is a round, generously endowed, corpulent effort with lots of garrigue, pepper, smoked meat, kirsch and raspberry fruit notes. This full-bodied, silky smooth, sexy Chateauneuf can be drunk over the next decade. Chante Cigale is another estate that does not like to present unbottled samples, so I did not have an opportunity to taste their 2010s. However, both 2009s are classic examples of Provence.
