Tasting notes
The saturated ruby/purple-hued 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Cotes Capelan has a stunning depth, full-bodied power, and abundant quantities of black currant and black cherry fruit interwoven with lavender, grilled Provencal herbs, and a meaty character, this is a sleeper of the vintage with sensational upside potential of 12-15+ years. A new producer for this critic, proprietor Stephane Vedeau made an impressive impression with his efforts in both 2006 and 2007 Importer: Peter Weygandt, Weygandt-Metzler, Unionville, PA; tel.

The 2006 Chateauneuf du Pape La Ferme du Mont is excellent, with black raspberry and cherry fruit intermixed with a bit of cedar, spice box, and Provencal herbs. It is dark ruby, medium-bodied, tasty, forward, and ideal for drinking over the next 5-6 years. We can thank Coralie Goumarre, the winegrower and the winemaker of this estate, for these lovely wines, which I think include a couple of cuvees that may be negociant blends, but I wasn’t able to verify that prior to writing this report. Whatever the case may be, these are serious Chateauneuf du Papes. No known American importer.
