2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge, Domaine des Sénéchaux

Sumptuous, intoxicating aromas of ripe, sweet black fruits combine with warm Asian spices on the nose and a beautifully, plump, juicy creamy palate. This Châteauneuf-du-Pape is decadent, naughty and terrific value: Lynch Bages with a Grenache grenade!
(Simon Staples, BBR Fine Wine Sales Director)

Jean-Michel and son Jean-Charles Cazes have made another great leap in progress in 2007. The result, paradoxically, is the quintessence of Châteauneuf-du- Pape; herbs, spice, pepper and a great mass of richly concentrated fruit. The wine has beautifully supple tannins and monumental length.

The fabulous 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape (a blend of 64% Grenache, 19% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, and the rest Cinsault and Vaccarese) boasts a deep plum/ruby/purple color as well as a super expressive perfume that represents the essence of Provence. Fresh bouquet garni, roasted Provencal herbs, licorice, black cherries, and black currant aromas soar from the glass of this full-bodied, incredibly deep, savory wine. Juicy and succulent with terrific acidity, freshness, and length, it is accessible now, and should continue to drink well for 12-15 or more years. Bravo to the Cazes family!
