"The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vigne du Regent possesses superb richness, a broad, nearly unctuous palate, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and loads of blackberry, cassis, and cherry fruit intermixed with subtle licorice, smoke, and earth notes. This beauty should drink well for 10-15 years. This offering is normally made from the estate's youngest vines (20-40 years), and the blend is 80% foudre-aged Grenache and 20% demi-muid-aged Syrah.
The 2007s are the finest wines I have yet tasted from this estate, which has relatively large holdings (about 75 acres), mostly in the southern sector of Chateauneuf du Pape where the soils are sandy and gravelly. "
