Also outstanding and a rock-solid 2011, the 2011 Chateauneuf du Pape Secrets de Pignan (100% Grenache aged all in tank) offers up a sweet, perfumed and red fruit-driven style with loads of herbs de Provence, dried flowers, fruit cake and kirsch and sweet cherry fruit all emerging from the glass. Medium-bodied, textured and yet nicely focused and pure, it’s a character-filled effort that will dish out loads of pleasure over the coming 7-8 years. Drink now-2021. These superb efforts are made by Eric Bonnet from his estate located in the northeastern sector of Chateauneuf du Pape. Importers: Simon N Cellars, Charlottesville, VA; tel.
