The Armenier family passionately runs this estate, which is farmed under the strict standards of Bio-Dynamic-organic methods. The standard cuvees are exceptionally spicy examples of Chateauneuf du Pape, with intense aromas of cinnamon, cherries, pepper, and herbal tea. The 1993 reveals an advanced, medium dark, ruby/garnet color, sweet, round, medium to full-bodied flavors, and a soft, lush finish. Surprisingly evolved for the vintage, it is best drunk over the next 4-5 years. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949
