Chateau de Saint Cosme Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2009
Region: Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Rhone, France
Variety: Red Wine
Rating: 92.0

My Chateauneuf 2009 is a sort of 2007 with less exuberance, less outspoken. 2009 is a vintage of powerful and meaty wines. It was necesary more than ever to work with full clusters, have nice and well-ripe mourvèdre, age without any racking to preserve the heart of the fruit. It has notes of Christmas cake, gingerbread, fennel, garrigue and rosemary.
