The 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape offers good fruit as well as decent size and ripeness, but it is slightly shallow and short in the back end, which is not unusual for this vintage. (Not yet released)This relatively small (25+ acres) estate flies somewhat under the radar, but its offerings from the sandy soils of Pignan are well-worth checking out. They also produce some stunning wines under the Cotes du Rhone-Villages appellation.Importers: Simon N Cellars, Charlottesville, VA; tel.
