The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape had not been assembled at the time of my visit, so I had the privilege of tasting all the different component parts. My ratings were (91-93) for the Cinsault, (92-94) for the Counoise, (93-95) for the Grenache, (90-93) for the Syrah, and (94-96) for the Mourvedre. The Mourvedre and Grenache represent 65% of the final blend, so I tend to think this wine will fall within the (93-95+) range. Even though Beaucastel rarely uses as much Grenache as the other famous Chateauneuf du Pape producers, their 2007 is very much in keeping with the vintage. It exhibits beautiful freshness, superb maturity, great fragrance, full-bodied power, and more seamlessness than the 2006. This may be their greatest vintage of Beaucastel since 2001 and 1998. It should age effortlessly for a minimum of two decades. 93-95+ points

Extremely dense, with layer upon layer of melted fig, mulled boysenberry
and black currant fruit, all laced with notes of charred
mesquite, hoisin sauce and Kenya AA coffee. The long, silky
mouthfeel belies the latent power in reserve-and there’s a lot of
it, with waves of grip driving the finish. Best from 2010 through
2030. From France.—J.M. WS |
