Critical Acclaim: 95 pts Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
Tasting Notes: "Plush, creamy and supple, the 2015 CHateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Etienne Gonnet is a lovely, elegant wine. Cherries and cocoa powder elements are joined by ample spice on the long, intense finish. While already approachable, it should drink well for 15 years or more."- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
About the Wine: "Famille Gonnet wines are complex and rich because of our very old vines, between 50 and 110 years old. Our vineyard plots are often 75% very old Grenache with a field blend of Counoise, Terret noir, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, Syrah, and even white wine grapes that were co-planted all those years ago. We are often told that our wines have a certain cleanness or purity about them, and I believe this is because of our organic farming and production methods."
*This is a 1.5 Liter magnum bottle.
Varietal: A blend of Grenache, Counoise, Terret Noir, Cinsault, Mourvèdre and Syrah.
