"Better than the '05, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Mon Aieul was firing on all cylinders (and has been since release), and while it has plenty of life ahead of it, there's no need to hold off either. Black raspberries, blackberry, spice, ground herbs and garrigue give way to an unctuous, concentrated and layered Chateauneuf du Pape that has no hard edges and overflowing charm. It's easily one of the top 2-3 wines in this slightly overlooked vintage."

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.
