The 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve has elegant sweet and sour cherry notes with some loamy soil notes intermixed with some resiny hints. The wine shows good richness, elegance, and is clearly meant to be drunk over the next 4-5 years. A new estate to reckon with, proprietors Christian and Julien Barrot come from a good winemaking family, and I believe these are the first wines they have presented for tasting. There are three cuvees from their 30 acres.Importers: Sussex Wine Merchants, Moorestown, NJ; tel. (609) 608-9644 and Turner Wine Imports, Morrisville, NC; tel. (919) 463-7676; Fax (919) 463-7874
