Wow.. garrigue, garrigue and then some more garrigue... The 2000 Bosquet des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Chante Le Merle Vieilles Vignes (Chantemerle) shows a fantastic nose of cassis, dirt, garrigue, spice and roasted herbs. With air, subtle leather and tobacco notes come out and this is like walking through a Provencal market... Big, rustic, meaty and complex. The palate is medium to full body with nice concentration, a lush texture, low acidity and a long finish. This was consumed over two days and is drinking great. Not going anywhere soon but I certainly don't see a need to hold this any longer either.

The most concentrated and potentially longest-lived cuvee is the Chante Le Merle. The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Chante Le Merle Vieilles Vignes is peppery, garrigue, lavender, black cherry, currant, and new saddle leather-scented and flavored. It possesses a deep plum/ruby color, serious concentration, loads of rich fruit, plenty of spice, and a provocative perfume of roasted herbs, licorice, mincemeat, and black fruits. This full-bodied 2000 is softer than the 2001, but 1-2 years of cellaring is warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2016. Prices for the Boiron family wines remain among the most reasonable in Chateauneuf du Pape ... remarkable given the high quality of all three cuvees, and the fact that this family has been making Chateauneuf du Pape for five generations.
