The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Tradition is the most upfront, fruity and soft. Attractive kirsch, licorice and tobacco leaf notes are followed by a medium-bodied wine that is ideal for present consumption. Enjoy it over the next 1-3 years.
This well-placed estate on the high plateau of Chateauneuf du Pape, behind the ruined castle, produced three cuvees in 2009.
