Charbonnière Chateauneuf du Pape 2006

88-90 Points - eRobertParker.com

"The deep ruby-colored 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits loads of classic kirsch liqueur fruit intermixed with hints of garrigue, seaweed, and balsam wood. It is an impressive basic cuvee with a broad mouthfeel, sweet tannin, and low acidity. Enjoy it over the next decade.

This is one of the most well-run estates in Chateauneuf du Pape thanks to the meticulous and passionate efforts of proprietor Michel Maret (readers should not overlook is Vacqueyras, one of the finest wines of that appellation). While the 2006s are not as powerful or rich as the 2005s, it is an excellent vintage for Charbonniere. In fact, I was somewhat surprised that there was less significant difference between the cuvees than usual." - RP
