The estate’s top cuvee, their old vine selection called Chateauneuf du Pape Secrets de Pignan Vieilles Vignes, is built on elegance and finesse rather than pure power. The richer, fuller 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Secrets de Pignan Vieilles Vignes reveals a darker ruby hue, more tannic structure than the 2006 as well as additional weight and length. It is an elegant yet intense Chateauneuf with superb harmony and no challenging tannins. It can be enjoyed over the next 10-12 years.
