Roger Perrin's 1996 Chateauneuf du Pape is a successful wine for the vintage. It displays the tell-tale earthy/herb concoction labeled garrigue, elegant, lush flavors, medium body, and a warm and generous constitution. This medium dark plum-colored, soft wine is ideal for drinking over the next 5-6 years.
This modest estate of just under 30 acres produces about 2200 cases of estate-bottled Chateauneuf du Pape with the balance sold off to leading negociants.
