2007 Pontifical Chateauneuf Du Pape Rouge

Here we go! The first massive, no brainer buy from the 2007 vintage in the Rhone is here!

"Vintage of a Lifetime ... Throughout the southern Rhone, 2007 is the greatest vintage I have tasted in my thirty years working in that region" - Robert Parker

90-92 Points RP and under $30? This is the must buy CDP of the year!

By now, most of you have heard about the incredible 2007 vintage in the Southern Rhone. We have already had a ton of requests looking for not only the top wines in the vintage, but also some of the better value ideas. In case you missed Robert Parker's look at the vintage, take a look below.

"Think of 2007 as a hypothetical blend of an opulent, powerful, sumptuous year such as 1990, and a cooler drought vintage such as 2001. The cool weather and the remarkable three weeks of Mistral in September that concentrated the grapes without any spikes of high heat appears to have given the 2007s an aromatic dimension and freshness that I have rarely witnessed. Combine that with wines that are substantial, powerful, and relatively high in alcohol, with super depth of fruit! These are very aromatic wines of great concentration, freshness, laser-like focus, and amazing purity as well as depth. It is the vintage of my lifetime for this region, and I don't say that lightly. These 2007s will also be very long-lived given their extraordinary balance." - Robert Parker

"This is an under-the-radar estate run by the Laget-Royer family. I still have magnums of the 1989 in my cellar that are aging beautifully, so they are certainly capable of hitting some very high points in Chateauneuf du Pape." - Robert Parker on Pontifical

Why are we so excited? This about sums it up...

Greatest Vintage in 30 Years: That quote at the top of this e-mail from Parker really sums it up. This is going to be a must buy vintage not only for Rhone valley lovers, but for those of you looking to jump in for the first time.

A top flight Chateauneuf du Pape ... for $29.98: "The 2007 certainly looks to be a beauty ... this wine has impeccable purity, texture, and de pth in a full-bodied, rather traditionally made style. It should drink nicely for 10-15 years" -RP

90-92 Points - Robert Parker (Wine Advocate)

"The 2007 certainly looks to be a beauty. Deep plum/ruby to the edge, with a sweet kirsch liqueur-scented nose intermixed with some sandy, loamy soil notes and a bit of pepper and spice, this wine has impeccable purity, texture, and depth in a full-bodied, rather t (more...)
