The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vigne du Regent possesses superb richness, a broad, nearly unctuous palate, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and loads of blackberry, cassis, and cherry fruit intermixed with subtle licorice, smoke, and earth notes. This beauty should drink well for 10-15 years. This offering is normally made from the estate's youngest vines (20-40 years), and the blend is 80% foudre-aged Grenache and 20% demi-muid-aged Syrah. The 2007s are the finest wines I have yet tasted from this estate, which has relatively large holdings (about 75 acres), mostly in the southern sector of Chateauneuf du Pape where the soils are sandy and gravelly. The 2008s are very good considering the challenges of this vintage. The stars of this portfolio are the 2007s. No known American importer.
