2006 Roger Sabon Chateauneuf-du-Pape Cuvee Prestige Champagne and a few waves of"Just drinking beautifully and the best showing of this wine to date, the 2006 Roger Sabon Chteauneuf du Pape Cuve Prestige smells like a Provencal Market with spectacular aromatics of spiced cherries and assorted red fruits, leather, charcuterie, and Provencal herbs. Medium to full bodied and straight up superb on the palate as well, with a silky texture, beautiful fruit, and a very long finish that highlights ripe tannin." 94 100 Jeb Dunnuck
