The two domaine-based offerings include the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Domaine de la Ste.-Vierge. Its evolved dark garnet/ruby color is followed by a big, sweet nose of herb-infused sweet cherries, roasted meats, and bouquet garni. Round, attractive, luscious, seductive, and forward, it can be drunk over the next 5-6 years.
This large negociant in Chateauneuf du Pape has fashioned three well-made 2007s that reflect the brilliance of this vintage.
No known American importer.
