The third cuvee is truly blockbuster stuff and made from 100% Grenache of vines over 100 years old. They all come from sandy soils, which is often a fabulous source for old head-pruned Grenache vines in Chateauneuf du Pape. The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Pure has a Rayas-like kirsch liqueur and raspberry compote character of great intensity, striking elegance, good acidity, and beautiful texture and length. Supple tannin and voluptuous quality make for quite a stunning wine. A new estate to reckon with, proprietors Christian and Julien Barrot come from a good winemaking family, and I believe these are the first wines they have presented for tasting. There are three cuvees from their 30 acres.Importers: Sussex Wine Merchants, Moorestown, NJ; tel. (609) 608-9644 and Turner Wine Imports, Morrisville, NC; tel. (919) 463-7676; Fax (919) 463-7874
