"A top effort, the 2003 Chateauneuf du Pape blanc exhibits wonderful notes of poached pears intermixed with citrus oil and white flowers. There is no malolactic fermentation, resulting in good underlying acidity to balance out the relatively high alcohol and full-bodied style. It should drink well . . . and they often age far longer than I predict."

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.
