The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape La Fiole possesses loads of melon, crisp acidity, medium body, and a nice, complex, floral note that no doubt comes from Roussanne.
This old-line negociant firm is owned by Alain Brotte. I hadn’t tasted their wines in a number of years, and I was pleasantly surprised how well they showed.
