Tasting Notes

Robert Parker Wine Advocate Jeb Dunnuck - 01 Mar 17
Another head-turner is the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape la Folie, which is an 80/20 split of Grenache and Mourvèdre brought up mostly in foudre, with a small amount in demi-muids. This cuvee was almost overtly modern on release, yet it has evolved into a beautiful Chateauneuf du Pape that has serious levels of concentrated fruit, full-bodied richness, sweet tannin and a huge perfume of caramelized black cherries, smoked herbs, licorice and leather. Like the other wines here, it’s impeccably balanced and will keep for at least another decade.

Glass-staining ruby. Potent dark berries and cherry skin on the nose, with hints of licorice, vanillin oak and candied violet adding complexity. Rich blackcurrant and mulberry flavors show a distinctly sweet character and are complemented by vanilla and cola qualities. The oakiness fades into the lush fruit on the long, sappy, alluringly sweet finish.

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vineyard Fine Wine

Chateauneuf-du-Pape

Châteauneuf-du-Pape, a prestigious appellation in France's Southern Rhône Valley, is famous for its rich, complex red wines. These full-bodied wines primarily feature Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre, with bold flavours of dark fruit, spices, and earthy undertones, often with a peppery note and velvety texture. The region's unique terroir, marked by large round stones and diverse soils, adds depth to its wines. Top producers include Domaine du Pegau, Château de Beaucastel, and Domaine Janasse, all celebrated for showcasing Châteauneuf-du-Pape's distinctive character.
