"Richer, more perfumed and complex, the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul (100% Grenache aged all in concrete tank) offers up gorgeous notes of kirsch, sweet garrigue, flowers and red licorice in its full-bodied, supple and textured profile. Showing the vintage freshness and elegance, it nevertheless dishes out loads of fruit and texture, with fine tannin and a great finish. Count me a fan . . ."

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.
