Boislauzon, Chateauneuf Du Pape Quet Brut Zero tobacco leaf and forest floor

tobacco leaf and forest floor

Subtle but not invisible wood frames the violet

moderately austere and wonderfully persistent finale that is quite firmly structured

It deserves a few years in cool cellars and will begin to show its best in the next several years

grainy texture and a little sharpness towards the finish

Boislauzon, Chateauneuf Du Pape Quet Brut Zero tobacco leaf and forest floorBased on 80% Grenache and 20% Mourvdre, the 2009 Chteauneuf Du Pape Cuvee Du Quet is showing beautifully, with a powerful, rich, yet seamless style. Ripe black cherries, black licorice, roasted garrigue, meat, tapenade, and Provenal notes all emerge from the glass. It's full bodied, has a deep, layered mid palate, sweet tannins, and a great finish. I'd say it's drinking at point today, yet it has the density, depth, and balance to evolve gracefully
