2007 Domaine Bosquet des Papes Chateauneuf-du-Pape A la Gloire de Mon Grand-Pere

(95 Points  ----  Wine Advocate)

A bigger, richer wine than the classic cuvee, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape A la Gloire de Mon Grand-Père checks in as close to 100% Grenache (there’s a splash of Cinsault and Clairette) that was brought up in demi-muids and foudre. It offers a downright sexy, full-bodied, seamless character as well as overflowing Provencal charm in its ripe kirsch and black cherry fruit, spice, cured meats and garrigue aromas and flavors. Drink it anytime over the coming decade. (JD)  Review Date: 02/2017
