| | Auszeichnung Parker 90 - 93 :The opaque ruby/purple-colored 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape offers up beautiful, sweet black raspberry and kirsch fruit, tremendous opulence, and a sexy, gamy character. Layered, sumptuous, and long in the mouth with excellent purity and freshness, it should drink effortlessly for 10-15 years.
This gorgeous portfolio from proprietor Paul Autard includes a classically-styled traditional cuvee, a Cuvee la Cote Ronde, a decidedly modern-styled Chateauneuf du Pape, and the newest offering, the blockbuster Cuvee Juline which, despite the use of barriques for aging, is very much in the traditional school. The 2007s are all brilliant.
