CHÂTEAUNEUF DU PAPE, CHANTE LE MERLE VIEiLLES VIGNES 2000

Bosquet des Papes

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. 91 WA 91 WS

Estimate $700-$900

Realised: $780
Price Includes Buyer's Premium ?
