“Throughout the southern Rhône, 2007 is the greatest vintage I have tasted in my 30 years working in that region. As for Châteauneuf du Pape, that appellation has had an unprecedented succession of superlative vintages… These are very aromatic wines of great concentration, freshness, laser-like focus, and amazing purity as well as depth. It is the vintage of my lifetime for this region, and I don’t say that lightly. These 2007s will also be very long-lived given their extraordinary balance.” – Robert Parker, October, 2008
