From the outstanding 2007 vintage & scoring 93/100 Parker Points, The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape unquestionably benefitted from the declassified Cuvee des Cadettes being included in the blend. Composed of 48% Grenache, 28% Syrah, & 14% Mourvedre, 62% was barrel-aged & the rest spent time in large wood foudres before blending. Excellent aromatics of lavender, licorice, blueberry, black raspberry, & new saddle leather are followed by a ripe, full-bodied, elegant, accessible wine offering an admirable concoction of rich fruit, a substantial, full-bodied mouthfeel, & silky tannins. It should drink nicely for 12-15 years. Drink now
