Tasting notes
The 2007 Domaine Monpertuis (Paul Jeune) Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a classic wine that’s a blend of 85% Grenache, and the rest a mix of other varieties, that’s all aged in foudre. It displays a complex, beautifully traditional bouquet of garrigue, lavender, big spice cabinet, flowers, and sweet cherry and raspberry fruit on the nose. This leads to a medium to full-bodied, ripe, impressively balanced wine that has racy acidity, a focused yet rich texture, and solid length on the finish. Straight-up delicious and just a joy to drink, this should continue to shine for 12-15 years.

(70% grenache, 15% mourvedre, 10% syrah and 5% cinsault) Vivid ruby. Fresh red and black fruits, blood orange, minerals, rose and smoky garrigue on the nose. Juicy, spicy and expansive, with explosive inner-mouth perfume and superb intensity to the sweet raspberry and cherry flavors. Really classic Chateauneuf, with strong lingering sweetness and spiciness and zero rough edges. But there's also a weightless quality here that belies the long, warm growing season. This has the freshness and balance to age for a long time.
