A limited production offering (400+ cases), the 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Choregies is the finest wine to emerge from this estate in 30 years. Its dense ruby/purple color is accompanied by pure black raspberry, cherry, and cassis notes intertwined with licorice, truffles, and pepper. There is great purity, full body, sweet tannin, and a voluptuous mouthfeel with a 45 second finish. This is truly stunning stuff from one of Chateauneuf du Pape's historically great domaines that appears to be serious about resurrecting its once lofty reputation.
