2007 Domaine De Cristia Chateaunuef-du-Pape Renaissance

Tasting Note:

The monster wine is the inky purple-colored 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Renaissance. This wine has only been made by Baptiste in 2003 2004 2005 and 2007. It is a blend of 60% Grenache and 30% Mourvedre with the balance Syrah from 50- to 100-year-old vines. Despite the fact that there is only 30% Mourvedre in the blend it seems to be the Mourvedre that dominates the wine at this stage of its development. It is very tannic but the tannins are sweet and ripe and the color an opaque purple. The wine displays notes of roasted meats incense and flowers in a super-powerful layered multi-dimensional style. However patience is required despite the fact that this is a softer more supple version of the behemoth that Cristia produced with this cuvee in 2005. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2030.
