Chateauneuf du Pape 2007
Collection Charles Giraud, St. Prefert
1lnl
Bottle (6)
Provenance: The following wines are the property of a Southern California gentleman who is also a frequent consignor to several of our other categories. Wines removed from 3 separate temperature controlled professional facilities.

"... I have had this wine a half dozen times, and it has been perfect on every occasion. It offers a mouthful of Chateauneuf du Pape filled with elegance, purity, and laser-like focus. The dark plum/purple color is accompanied by notes of camphor, ground pepper, sweet blackberry and black cherry fruit interwoven with licorice, garrigue, and spice box. In that sense, it is the quintessential expression of a Chateauneuf du Pape, Provence, and the southern Rhone. The wine hits the palate with a glorious display of red and black fruits, herbs, and spices. Full-bodied, meaty, rich, and chewy with extraordinary purity and intensity as well as a multilayered texture and a 60+ second finish, this amazing wine offers up a smorgasbord of aromas and flavors." (100pts Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #185, Oct 2009)

"The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Collection Charles Giraud is off-the-charts! More voluptuous and hedonistic than the 2010, it offers a smorgasbord of black raspberry, blackberry, licorice, roasted herbs and cured meats that flow to a massive, full-bodied wine that has nothing out of place. Incredibly concentrated, layered, pure and seamless, it is an incredible Chateauneuf to drink over the coming 15 years." (100 pts. Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate #214, Aug. 2014)

Shipping Restriction: Please note that we cannot ship to addresses in Massachusetts, so please bid accordingly.
