2010 Château Simian “Le Traversier” Châteauneuf-du-Pape

From one of Southern Rhone’s greatest vintages of all time, a vintage the Wine Spectator describes as producing “…beautifully ripe, racy, terroir-driven wines…” earning an overall vintage rating of 98 Points, the best in more than 30 years. While you might expect to pay upwards of $50/btl for a high-quality Châteauneuf-du-Pape from this vintage, Château Simian at $25.99/btl is a terrific find.

Made predominantly from Grenache (70%) and harmonized with Syrah, Cinsaut and Mourvedre, Château Simian’s 2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape is striking, poised and polished. It’s classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape . With several years of developing in the bottle, the 2010 is really starting to show its strength.

Since the distributor has less than 40 cases left in the Country, I don’t expect this wine to be around for long. If you’re on the lookout for a classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape from a historic vintage, here’s an opportunity to secure one at about half of its original retail price…
