"Far more interesting is the 1990 Cuvee Reservee. A huge nose of roasted peanuts and ripe, jammy cassis fruit makes for an uncomplex but enticing introduction. This deeply colored wine offers dense, thick, chewy, mouthfilling flavors that are full of alcohol and glycerin. A big, rich, relatively unformed Chateauneuf du Pape . . . . At present, there is no doubting its impressive sweetness and opulence of fruit."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
