Note di degustazione
There are 10,000 bottles of the 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Galets Blonds, which is produced from ripe fruit grown in the La Crau sector. It is a blend of 93% Grenache (80-year old vines) and 7% Syrah. About one-half is destemmed, and the wine is aged both in tank and neutral wood foudres. Its superb ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet perfume of kirsch liqueur, garrigue, ground pepper, beef blood, and underbrush. Full-bodied, rich, and opulent, with copious spice, glycerin, and intensity, this is a gorgeously pure, fleshy yet classically Provencal offering to enjoy between 2006-2014.

Medium red. Roasted red fruits, stewed tomato and woodsmoke on the nose. Creamy in the middle palate, with woodsmoke and leather flavors; sweet but with an edge of acidity. Finishes with a drying note of autumn leaves.
(from half-destemmed fruit; aged in cuve and foudre) Deep ruby-red. Superripe, roasted aromas of currant and gunflint. Liqueur-like but sappy and lively in the mouth, with bright, spicy fruit offering noteworthy power and thrust. Tannins are firm but sweet. Sappy and aromatic on the long aftertaste.
