Description

The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape La Combe des Fous (meaning "Valley of the Fools"),which comes from a specific vineyard known as Les Combes,was cropped at extremely low yields of 20-25 hectoliters per hectare.Atypically for a Chateauneuf du Pape,it contains a high percentage of Vaccarese (10%) along with 60% Grenache,20% Syrah,and 10% Cinsault.The Grenache was aged in tank and the other varietals spent time in old small barrels or demi-muids.Explosive aromatics inclue spring flowers,boysenberries,blueberries,black raspberries,graphite and charcoal.A powerful wine with great depth,full body,and an endless finish,it is exquisitely pure with not a rough edge to be found.It is the equivalent to liquid haute couture.The Musigny of the southern Rhone,it possesses extraordinary aromatics followed by a wine with the texture,length,and multi-layered mouthful that are the stuff of dreams.Looking back at my tasting notes,the first thing I wrote was "whoa!".Deep plum/purple to the rim,this wine should evolve for 20-25 years,but it is already remarkably accessible.The vintage's freshness as evidenced by the lack of any excessive heat and cool nights has given an aromatic singularity to the 2007s that is largely unprecented in my tasting experience.
