The outstanding 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Le Chataigner is a deeper, richer wine, more full-bodied, not quite as seductive as its counterpart, but beautifully rich, impeccably balanced, with pure kirsch liqueur notes intermixed with some licorice and loamy soil notes. It is full-bodied with a creamy texture and lush, heady finish. Drink it over the next 10-12 years. Two strong offerings from this estate, which has long been represented in the United States, although until recently the wines were too blatantly mainstream and commercial. Things have certainly improved.Importer: Schieffelin & Somerset, New York, NY; tel. (212) 251-8337
