The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Blanc Vieilles Vignes (100% Roussanne) could be called the "Montrachet of southern France." A wine of great intensity, it boasts thrilling aromas of orange marmalade, nectarine liqueur, honeysuckle, peaches, and apricots. Stunningly rich with full body, terrific acidity, and a finish that lasts 45+ seconds, this is an amazing achievement... Robert Parker

Precision, surprisingly(?). But with some heft. Begs for crab imo.

The label got roughed up a bit, but the wine was actually incredibly fresh and mineral- not overwrought at all!

Not as flawed as the 2006 I tried recently, but still not good. Nice gold color with some rust showing through. Funky nose followed by a wine that is harsh and dominated by butterscotch. Got via a charity event, so at least it was for a good cause.

2007 vintage. I get corn on the nose, bit nutty and creamy, powerful with incredible details on the palate
