Proprietors Jean-Paul and Joachim Autard continue to produce fine Chateauneuf du Papes. There are three offerings in 1995. The dark ruby-colored 1995 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Michele reveals loads of sweet berry fruit, along with a whiff of Provencal olives, a sweet, expansive mid-palate, fine length, and a lusty finish. It is a long, ripe, impressively endowed wine for drinking during its first decade of life. This wine was tasted between June 1 and June 16, 1996.
