Charbonniere 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape
92 points Wine Advocate
"A noble Chateauneuf du Pape with a grand cru Burgundy-like aromatic display, t
he 2001 possesses a deep ruby/purple color as well as a big,
sweet nose that reminded me of a Flagey-Echezeaux. Aromas of raspberries,
acacia flowers, and blackberries are followed by a southern Rhone-styled wine
possessing large volume as well as a chewy texture. However, there is tremendous
elegance and finesse in this full-bodied, precise, fresh, deep, rich, concentrated 2001.
Drink this beauty over the next 12-14 years. For statisticians,
it comes from a lieu-dit in the northeastern sector of Chateauneuf du Pape,
just west of the village of Courthezon. Made from 30-50 year old vines,
it is a blend of 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 15% Mourvedre."
