Wine Advocate
Reviewed February 2003Font de Michelle's Cuvee Etienne Gonnet is a 1,000 case, barrique-aged blend of 65% Grenache, 15% Cinsault, 10% Syrah, and 10% Mourvedre. The outstanding 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Etienne Gonnet has a dense ruby/purple color as well as aromas of sweet vanilla, lavender, roasted herbs, pepper, cherry, plum, and cassis fruit. It is an opulent, expansive effort with supple tannin, ample complexity, and a classic, long, 40+ second finish. (RP)

Good dark red. Smoky, inviting aromas of cherry, currant and bitter chocolate. Lush, sweet and seamless, showing the fat of the vintage. Red fruit and spice flavors nicely framed by harmonious, ripe acidity. Finishes long and spicy, with very suave, fine tannins. (ST)
