The dark ruby/purple-colored 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape is a good introduction to what Michel Maret produces. It offers up textbook aromas of kirsch, roasted nuts, and jammy black cherries. Spicy and well-made, with medium to full body and excellent purity, this is a tasty, generously-endowed wine to drink over the next 7-10 years.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524

The dark ruby-colored 1996 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Tradition offers a cedary, sandlewood, and black cherry-scented nose, medium to full body, fine softness, and a stylish combination of power and finesse. It will not age long, but will provide fine drinking over the next 4-5 years.

Domaine de la Charbonniere's 1995s have a more saturated color than the 1996s, cut a deeper, fuller impression on the palate, and possess more character and aromatics. The 1995 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Classique offers a medium ruby color, a soft, berry/cherry-scented nose, round, ripe flavors, nice sweetness from the glycerin, and light tannin in the medium-bodied finish. It is a wine to drink over the next 5-6 years. Proprietor Michel Maret has been turning out textbook Chateauneuf du Pape for some time, and he seems to go from strength to strength.
