Proprietors Jean-Paul and Joachim Autard continue to produce fine Chateauneuf du Papes. There are three offerings in 1995. At my tasting, the finest of the three was the 1995 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Mireille. It possesses the most opaque black/purple color, as well as the densest constitution, considerable purity, ripeness, and richness, good structure, adequate acidity, and a full-bodied, blockbuster finish. Loaded with potential, it will need 3-5 years of cellaring and should last two decades. This wine was tasted between June 1 and June 16, 1996. Importer: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (803) 497-8625
