Paul Autard Cote Ronde Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2003
Varietal: Rhone Red Blends
Vineyard: Paul Autard
Region: Chateauneuf-du-Pape, France - Rhone
One of Autard's top wines, the Chateauneuf du Pape La Cote Ronde, comes from a parcel of vines that are between 75 and 90 years old, planted in a stony soil. The grape mix is 50% Grenache and 50% Syrah. The Cote Ronde parcel is vinified separately and is aged in 100% new oak barrels. It is an intensely concentrated, lush-textured wine with vivid dark fruit, spice, chocolate and oak flavors. Autard only makes this cuvee in top years.
