Description

Paul Avril was a bigger-than-life vigneron,a visionary,and a great teacher,but Vincent has been in charge for a number of years and he has rewarded his father with what I believe is the greatest Chateauneuf du Pape since 1978 and 1990,the 2007.I have not only tasted this wine at the estate,but I purchased it for my cellar,and have now drunk it on three separate occasions out of bottle.It is unquestionably one of the greatest Chateauneufs of my lifetime,and I suspect it will merit a three digit score after another 3-4 years of cellaring.The blend is generally 65% Grenache,20% Mourvedre and the rest small amounts of Muscardin,Vaccarese,Counoise and Syrah.It exhibits probably the deepest color I have ever seen here and the finished alcohol is high (for Clos des Papes) 15.5%.Still slightly restrained because of its recent bottling,but,wow,what potential complexity,mind-boggling richness,and compelling flavour are apparent.It is a sublime expression of the art of winemaking as evidenced by its dense purple color and big sweet kiss of kirsch,framboise,blackberries,licorice,roasted herbs,and smoked meat.It hits the palate with a fascinating combination of substance,power,full-bodied authority,yet extraordinary freshness,elegance,and precision.Give it 3-4 years of cellaring and watch it unleash its glory over the next three decades.This is a prodigious wine of great quality from one of the most important reference point estates in Chateauneuf du Pape.
