The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape white displays elegant pear, honeyed citrus, quince, and wet stones (minerality) in an elegant, subtle, yet endearing style, with plenty of body and flavor. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. As I mentioned last year when reviewing their sumptuous 2007s, this is a top-flight estate making very fine wines that somehow remain under the radar for many consumers. They didn't show their only 2008, which I gave a so-so review to last year, but they did present the 2009s, which are fine efforts. Importers: Simon N Cellars, Charlottesville, VA; tel.
