This up-and-coming, increasingly serious estate, run by proprietor Eric Bonnet, produces a decent traditional cuvee of Chateauneuf du Pape. The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape is slightly deeper than the 2006, but still medium-bodied, soft, and fruity. It offers notes of balsam wood, pine cones, and kirsch liqueur. It should be drunk over the next 4-5 years.

Prune hints, some dark roast plum. Very tasty. Mouthcoating, yet smooth, ripe, spicy fruit. Dry and earthy texture, long.
