Could my 2006 Chateauneuf Du Pape become a vintage wine if i properly store it or is it not a vintage year for this wine?
"No it cannot become a vintage wine as 2006 was not a vintage year. Storing has nothing to do with vintage wines." Bad advice, with no knowledge or explanation. Vintage does not refer to the quality of the wine. it is a term to do with the year in which the wine was vintaged. As for the quality of 2006 vintage Chateauneuf du Pape, they are charming wines with a more forward personality, than their more lauded siblings the 2007 vintage. These wines where overlooked by the consumers due to the media frenzy surrounding 2007. These wines are of generally good to excellent quality, and will benefit from medium to long aging, but will not have the lifespan of something like the 1989 or 1990 vintage or probably the 2007. excellent additions to ones collection, as it will give you fully mature, ready to drink wines, whilst you patiently wait for the 2007 and 2009 vintages to come into there own. Storage has everything to do with good wine, and its enjoyment. Bad storage will spoil the best of wines, good storage conditions (55degrees, dark, vibration free), can enable even average wines the chance to age well. Nothing can be done for the poorly made, or disastrous whims of nature, except for maybe vinegar! In wine there is truth, let there be truth in wine!!! The Graped Avenger
