Fashioned from 100% old vine Grenache, the medium ruby-hued 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape a la Gloire de Mon Grandpere exhibits plenty of sweet cherry, raspberry, plum, licorice, earth, and cedar notes. It is a lovely, complex, relatively evolved, soft, velvety-textured effort offering attractive opulence as well as delicious fruit. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. This top-notch estate has been producing impressive, classic examples of Chateauneuf du Pape for over 25 years. All three cuvees are noteworthy efforts.Importers: Alain Junguenet, Wines of France, Mountainside, NJ; tel. (908) 654-6173 and Touton Selections Ltd., New York, NY; tel. (212) 255-2506
