A 100% Grenache cuvee that is aged all in tank for 14-16 months, the 2010 M. Chapoutier Châteauneuf-du-Pape Croix de Bois is a gorgeously perfumed, complex wine that boasts knockout aromas of wild flowers, violets, black cherries, loamy earth, and loads of Provencal spice and herbs. While more fruit forward and upfront than the Barbe Rac, the purity and class here is something. Full-bodied, rich, and concentrated on the palate, yet with an elegant suppleness that makes you want to pour another glass, this classic 2010 has the fruit and texture to be enjoyable now, yet will have no problem evolving for 15-20 years.
