the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve Le Clos du Caillou was open for business

lemon and linear finale that isn’t skinny but it’s presently a bit lean

The wine has a beautiful entry to the palate

It finishes with a sapid and salty sensation and marked chalkiness

airy and admirably pure nose features crystal clear and transparent red pinot fruit and essence of stone

Fontaine Gagnard, Chassagne Montrachet La Boudriotte Vintage:2014 the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape(from Fairendes). Layered aromas display notes of petrol, various citrus elements, pear and freshly sliced apple. The firm and muscular yet nicely refined middle weight flavors possess very good concentration before terminating in a firm, austere and very serious finale. This markedly dry effort will need at least some forbearance.
