Paul Autard Cuvee Juline Chateauneuf du Pape 2009

"The most controversial wine in this portfolio is the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Juline (named after Autard?€?s children, Jules and Pauline). Made from the same blend as La Cote Ronde, fermented in new oak and aged in the upright truncated new oak foudres, it is an internationally-styled, "love it or leave it Chateauneuf du Pape". It possesses an inky purple color as well as copious graphite, blueberry, blackberry and espresso notes with chocolate overtones. It will last for 10-15 years, but if you are looking for an unoaked, naked Chateauneuf du Pape, this may not be to your liking." 91+pts WA
