The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape (70% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 10% Mourvedre aged
one year in wood foudres and a second year in wood cuves) boasts beautiful
density and purity as well as stunning aromatics and a full-bodied,
multi-textured style. The freshness and vibrancy achieved because of the cool,
exceptionally dry growing season is well-displayed in the beautiful, almost
Burgundian-like perfume, but the wine possesses the strength, power, and
substance of a southern Rhone. Drink it over the next 15+ years.
