Vinous - Josh Raynolds (92-94)Tasted in two components, and there's no guarantee that these are the ones that Allemand will ultimately blend for this bottling: #1: From argilo-calcaire soils; vivid red berries and cherry on the nose and in the mouth. Shows very good energy and clarity, with strong finishing cut and length. #2: From more granitic soils; deeper, darker and altogether more masculine, with black and blue fruit flavors and a bracing spine of minerality. Shows a suave blend of power and energy and finishes with firm mineral bite and excellent persistence. |

Chateauneuf du Pape, in the Rhone, pioneered the Appellation Controlee system by drawing up the first rules in 1923 regulating production, providing a prototype for others. This regulated yields, alcohol levels and what grapes could be grown where. The Rhone has gone through a resurgence with more of its appellations distinctive identities being asserted and respected.
