2001 Chateauneuf: Great Vintage, Great Buy

Some things are just too good to pass up. An importer had too much of a top cuvee from a very good vintage that is just entering its plateau of fragrant maturity. What more could you want?
How about less than $25 a bottle for a heady ripe Chateauneuf? Order a case , that’s what you’ll have.
