Overview

The newest special cuvee (introduced in 2006) is the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (50% Grenache. 40% Mourvedre. and 10% Syrah). Made from 50- to 100+-year-old vines and aged 18 months in small oak barrels. it is potentially one of the longest lived wines of the vintage. This exquisite. dense purple-colored effort reveals intense but restrained notes of cassis. kirsch. lavender. licorice. and graphite. A wine of great intensity as well as remarkable finesse and elegance. is a full-bodied Chateauneuf that will require plenty of patience. Give it 3-4 years of bottle age. and drink it over the following 25-30.

(50% grenache, 40% mourvedre and 10% syrah) Bright purple. Exotically perfumed bouquet of ripe raspberry, boysenberry and cherry, with complicating notes of cola, sassafras and star anise. Deep, juicy dark fruit flavors provide impressive palate coverage and are braced by zesty minerality. The dark berry and cola notes resonate on the long, focused finish. This is already appealing but seems built to age. (Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester VA. By Josh Raynolds January 2010
