Reseña profesional
The 1997 Chateauneuf du Pape Roussanne Vieilles Vignes (100% Roussanne from 50-year old vines) could easily be called the Montrachet or Chevalier-Montrachet of Chateauneuf du Pape. This cuvee has been remarkable in the past, and the 1997 is spectacular. It reveals lots of definition, as well as spectacular concentration, a viscous texture, honeyed floral and citrusy-like flavors, full body, and a finish that goes on for 40-50 seconds. A quintessential Roussanne, it is a great example of the heights this unheralded varietal can achieve. The 1997 should drink well for two decades or more.
