When to drink this wine : 2009 - 2024
Tasted by Parker in 2009: "The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape is a powerful, exceptionally aromatic wine, with plenty of sweet black cherry, licorice, garrigue, and earth notes, as well as subtle oak, in a full-bodied, opulent style. Once in the glass, raspberry and fig notes emerge from this substantial, fleshy, compelling Châteauneuf du Pape. Enjoy it over the next 10-15 years.
- This classic wine represents the main characteristic of the estate's style.
- Blend : GRENACHE BLANC 52% - ROUSSANNE 21% - CLAIRETTE 27%.
- Vinification: Château de Vaudieu is made from a very precise plot orientation, which allows us to pick the white grapes at their optimum maturity, in the south-west of the estate. The grapes are picked by hand, early in the morning to keep them fresh, and sorted and put in boxes to limit crushing. The bunches are gently pressed in a pneumatic press. The musts are selected and then sent to the stainless steel vat room, which is thermo-regulated. After cold settling, the Roussannes and part of the Grenaches are put into barrels to carry out the alcoholic fermentation.
- Ageing : Aged for 8 months in 228l barrels for the Roussannes and part of the Grenaches. (35% of the total volume in barrels).
- Tasting : Pale gold colour with silvery reflections. A nose opening on notes of white flowers and sweet spices, then lightly toasted brioche. The attack is lively and frank, then the roundness brought by the ageing process envelops the taste buds. The finish is long and confirms the impression of minerality felt on the attack. To be enjoyed now and for 10 years.
- Conseil de sommelier : To be served at 11-12°C, as an aperitif, then follow with a carpaccio of scallops with citrus fruit sauce, a grilled sea bass, or a nice truffle brouillade.
