The star of the 2007 vintage is the limited production 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Reserve. This 400-case wine is usually 85% Syrah and 15% Grenache, all aged in foudre. The 2007 exhibits abundant amounts of earth, garrigue, pepper, lavender, and blue as well as black fruits. It is an impressive effort, and I would never have guessed it contains this much Syrah based on its aromatic and flavor profiles. Enjoy it over the next 7-8 years.
One of the most historically important estates of the appellation, Chateau Fortia has been making wines since the late 1700s. It is well-known in French winedom that the owner of this property, Baron Pierre Le Roy, first promulgated very strict regulations under which Chateauneuf du Pape could be produced, This doctrine became the founding principles of the entire French appellation system in 1936. Fortia produces three cuvees from their 70+ acres of vines.
