Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Quartz--Vintage 2001
Rhône. Domaine-bottled: Domaine de Caillou, Vacheron
Tasting Note: The 2001 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Quartzs Burgundian-like perfume of liquid rocks intermixed with blueberries, blackberries, licorice, and cherries is accompanied by exquisite concentration, extraordinary purity, and a tremendously perfumed style with minerality as well as underlying structure. This is a fabulously elegant yet full-bodied, concentrated offering that could be called the Musigny of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. The 2001 only hints at its ultimate potential, but it is soft enough to be drunk now. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2016. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate 151 (Feb 2004).
