Chateauneuf du Pape, Cuvee Elegance de Jeanne, Font de Michelle (Gonnet)

Note:

The top wine is the seductive, 100 year old Grenache cuvee from La Crau, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Elegance de Jeanne. This wine`s light ruby color is somewhat deceptive given its rich, fruity, fleshy, pure, silky style. Medium to full bodied with copious notes of kirsch, licorice, incense and underbrush, this luscious, succulent offering represents all the good things Grenache can be when made from old vines and low yields. Drink it over the next decade or more.
