What the Critics say
The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Etienne Gonnet carries a bit more dark fruit and concentration than the regular bottling, but it remains a silky, fine and elegant wine for drinking over the next decade or so. Subtle toast and vanilla notes frame ripe cherries in this full-bodied yet supple, easy-to-drink wine.

(Formerly bottled as Font de Michelle)
Grown in the La Crau sector, This wine is a selection of Grenache grapes from century-old vines harvested when they are on the verge of becoming over-matured. Syrah and Mourvèdre vine stocks are also part of the wine’s makeup. Aged in large oak foudres and small new barrels.
