Tasting notes
Even better than a previous bottle, the 2001 Domaine de Beaurenard Châteauneuf-du-Pape is drinking wonderfully, showing an evolved, complex bouquet of earthy black cherry, spice box, and licorice aromas on the nose, medium+ body, good concentration, and a long, pure finish. There’s plenty of life left, and this should solid Châteauneuf should continue to show well for another 3-5 years.

One of the Coulon’s finest examples of their regular cuvee of Chateauneuf du Pape, the 2001 exhibits a deep ruby/purple color, medium to full body, and loads of creme de cassis fruit intermixed with hints of white chocolate, smoke, licorice, and wood. Pure and textured as well as elegant, this beauty will be at its peak between 2005-2014. Importer: New Castle Imports, Myrtle Beach, SC; tel. (843) 497-8625

Saturated dark red. Tangy cherry and smoky oak on the nose, with a suggestion of whiskey barrel. Sweeter and fuller than the 2000, with more flavor intensity and supporting structure. Still a tad medicinal and youthfully firm-edged but has better buffering density of texture.
