Domaine De Charbonniere Chateauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Mourre Des Perdrix

Vintage: 2000
Description: (91 Points) The single vineyard Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix emerges from a vineyard in the northeastern sector of the appellation, just west of Courthezon. Maret's parcel includes 30-50 year old vines. The blend is 70% Grenache, 15% Syrah, and 15% Mourvedre. The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Mourre des Perdrix possesses a deep ruby/purple color as well as a gamy, earthy nose with plenty of black fruit, dried herb, tapenade, balsam wood, and sweet cherry/currant fruit aromas. This classy, complex 2000 marries power and elegance in a medium to full-bodied, pure style. Anticipated maturity: now-2014." (02/03) 90 points Wine Spectator: "Traditional style, with a subtle, smooth texture, and lovely game, leather, pebble and mineral character that beckons you to come back for another sniff and swirl. Mingling earth, barnyard, roasted fowl and plum jam character. Medium- to full-bodied, with good acidity that carries it to a fresh, food-friendly ending Wine Advocate.
