2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine la Roquette

With 70% Grenache providing the sweet fruit and a balance of Syrah and Mourvèdre adding structure and a savoury note, this is richly textured with a silky tannic backdrop and an engaging finish; in other words this is a poised and complex Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine.
(Simon Field MW - Rhône Buyer)

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.
