Note di degustazione
Similar to its big brother, the 2006 Domaine Grand Veneur Châteauneuf-du-Pape has dark, rich black cherry and raspberry aromatics to go along with its full bodied, balanced palate. There's nice concentration, plenty of rich fruit and impressive length on the finish.

Ruby-red. Mineral-driven aromas of strawberry, cherry and tobacco. Snappy red fruit flavors show good depth and clarity, with silky tannins adding shape. In fact, the red fruit finish seems a touch hard..
A sleeper of the vintage, the 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape is a seductive effort offering plenty of earth, tapenade, and spice as well as black cherry and cassis fruit. Deep, full-bodied, rich, chewy, and totally seductive, it can be enjoyed over the next decade. This estate, owned by the Jaume family, has been on fire over the last decade. The wines are made in a polished, civilized, modern style, but they do not lack Provencal or Chateauneuf du Pape typicity. In 2006, they added a third cuvee of Chateauneuf du Pape, an old vine cuvee that was mostly all Grenache in 2006, but a different blend in 2007. The real bargain among the Chateauneuf du Papes is their traditional offering. Over the last 4-5 years, Grand Veneur has produced a bevy of terrific Cotes du Rhones, and the following two cuvees are indicative of what they are capable of achieving.

Dark. Heady, superripe cocktail. Easy rather than ambitious but very nicely balanced for early drinking. (JR)
