2005 Domaine de la Charbonniere "Mourre des Perdrix" Châteauneuf-du-Pape

SKU #1033013

94 points and Highly Recommended, Wine Spectator: "A seamless red, with a torrent of raspberry and boysenberry fruit racing along lip-smacking licorice, mulled spice and graphite notes. The superlong, racy finish has great latent structure. Enticing now, but built for the cellar. Drink now through 2030." (12/07)92 points Robert Parker: "The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix’s dark ruby/purple-tinged color is followed by notes of black raspberries, black currants, cherries, pepper, and incense, medium to full body, and a long, concentrated, layered finish. This is one of the most well-run estates in Chateauneuf du Pape thanks to the meticulous and passionate efforts of proprietor Michel Maret (readers should not overlook is Vacqueyras, one of the finest wines of that appellation)." (10/07) 92 points Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Deep red. Seductively aromatic nose offers vibrant strawberry and raspberry scents along with fresh flowers and minerals. Shows pinot-like clarity to its sweet red fruit flavors and finishes long and sappy. This medium-bodied wine is already very attractive." (Jan/Feb 08)

Varietal:

Rhone Blends

Country:

France

- When it comes to wine, France stands alone. No other country can beat it in terms of quality and diversity. And while many of its Region, Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne most obviously, produce wine as rare, as sought-after and nearly as expensive as gold, there are just as many obscurities and values to be had from little known appellations throughout the country. To learn everything there is to know about French wine would take a lifetime. To understand and appreciate French wine, one only has to begin tasting them.

Sub-Region:

Rhone

- Legendary wine-producing region in southeast France. Stereotypically speaking, Rhone wines are high in alcohol, and the majority produced is red. The northern Rhone is best known for outstanding 100% Syrah wines from areas such as Cote Rotie and Hermitage, as well as for fabulous white wines from Condrieu (where Viognier is king). In the southern Rhone, look for spicy, full-bodied wines that are blends of Grenache, Syrah, and other varietals coming from appellations such as Chateauneuf du Pape, Gigondas, or Rasteau. Wines labeled as Cote du Rhone or Cotes du Rhone Village (a cut above generic Cotes du Rhone) are frequently found here in the US because they often represent some of the best values on the market.
