Monpertuis, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, 2010
A traditional, old-vine Châteauneuf-du-Pape now drinking in its mature sweet spot. The Jeune family has farmed in Châteauneuf since the 18th century, and Paul Jeune established Domaine Monpertuis under his own name in 1970, working vines scattered across many small parcels of the appellation. The classic Châteauneuf is a Grenache-led blend raised the old-fashioned way in foudres and concrete, built for the long haul. At fifteen-plus years of age, the 2010, a celebrated vintage in the southern Rhône for its balance and structure, has shed its baby fat and turned savory and complex. This is what patience buys you: a mature Châteauneuf with secondary character, ready to pour tonight.
