Maison Bouachon LA TIARE DU PAPE Chateauneuf-du-Pape Blanc
Description: The Bouachon family have maintained their stewardship of some of the finest wines in the Rhone since 1898. Just a few kilometres in the north of Avignon, on hillsides and terraced grounds soaked in sunlight and swept by the Mistral , stretches this renowned wine-growing region boasting soils covered with large siliceous pebbles which create the famous '' oven '' effect. It is in this excellent place that the 13 grape varieties found in Châteauneuf-du-Pape acquire characteristic maturity thereby endowing to the wines their savours brimming with a mineral and tasty tang of unmatched fullness. Of the various authorised varieties of white grapes, La Tiare du Pape basically includes four of them Grenache blanc, Bourboulenc, Clairette and Roussanne. Picardan and Picpoul grape varieties play a minor quantitative role in the making of blend. Pale yellow colour with fine golden hues. Complex fragrance of white flowers, honeysuckle and blossom, with hints of liquorice ; rich and harmonious on the palate, robust, followed by an exuberant refreshing sensation and lingering flavours.

Chateau de Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape AC
Description: The result of the effort and innovation of three generations of the Perrin family is clearly evident when one has the pleasure of tasting a good vintage of Chateau de Beaucastel at its peak. If one word can describe the red wines of Beaucastel it must be 'pure': pure because they are the natural expression of the earth and the grapes from whence they came. In this case the vineyard is a patchwork of all 13 permitted grape varieties covering 70 hectares in all. The thirteen grape varieties of the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation are used in this wine with a strong percentage of Mourvedre and Grenache , Syrah 10%, Counoise 10% Cinsault 5% and the rest divided up among the remaining grape varieties: Vaccarese, Terret noir, Muscardin, Picpoul, Picardan, Bourboulenc, Roussanne. The Grenache and the Cinsault give the wine its colour, intensity and softness. The Mourvedre, Syrah, Muscardin and Vaccarese give the wine its renowned ageing potential and dark, classic character. While the Counoise, Picpoul and so on give a certain freshness, fragrance and aromatic quality. The soil is the same porous, aerated blanket of Alpine diluvium on a base of Miocene marine limestone that exists elsewhere on the estate. The vines are on average 50 years old and yields are never more than 30 hectolitres per hectare and often much less. It is a vibrant and healthy vineyard due to years of organic cultivation and close monitoring of the needs of each vine. This has produced a dark ruby red coloured wine showing a slight hint of purple at the rim. The nose is full of spice, and deep black berries while the mouth has a fresh attack, lingering in the total taste of the wine, fresh berries and tannins present. (12 x 75 cl)

Chateau Fortia TRADITION RED Chateauneuf du Pape
Description: The Domain Chateau Fortia, is one of the oldest of Chateauneuf du Pape. History has it that it used to be an outbuilding of the pontifical castle where the cardinals kept their stables. The domaine took importance when Hercule de Fortia d'Urban took it over.The count of Ripert Monclar wrote in his essay entitled , The Life and Works Of The Marquis Of Fortia of Urban published in 1843 that it was a lovely little hermitage. The lands registry of 1763 offers further proof with the mention of a small farm belonging to the marquis of Fortia maintained on a share-cropping system. However, this Chateau has another important role in history. During the early 20th Century Baron Pierre Leroy, through marriage, became the head of the estate. Due to the deteriorating quality of the Chateauneuf-Du-Pape wines in general, the Baron drew up a charter that became the basis for the AOC wine law system. Today, the Chateau maintains the spirit of the AOC wine laws and after a manual harvesting and a compulsory sorting, , the grapes are transported in small crates in order to ensure their arrival at the cellar in the best of conditions. The harvest is then destemmed and more or less crushed depending to the year; due to differences in maturity the grape-varieties are vinified separatly in 150hl concrete tanks equipped with a cooling system. Vatting lasts 20 to 25 days depending on the year and then the wines are put in 20 to 40hl stock vats to go through a second fermentation and then racked. The various grape-varieties are assembled and put in stock vats for ageing between 12 to 18 months depending on the vintage. The wines are then put in meshed metallic tanks where they are fined and filtered before bottling. Finally, they are stored for several months before release. A blend of 95% Grenache and 5% Syrah 'exhibits sweet notes of cassis, kirsch, earth, melted liquorice and underbrush.' Robert Parker, Wine Advocate. (6 x 75 cl)
