Our recent trip to Chateauneuf du Pape confirmed everything we've been reading about the 2007's from the critics. It's an exceptional vintage. A vintage that we feel is cross between 2000 and 2003. All of the 2007's that we tasted including the Domaine La Milliere were drinking beautifully. Very good concentration, nice structure and sweet tannins. Chateauneuf du Pape continues to be produce many wines that over deliver quality for the money and which can also age effortlessly for 7-10 years.

"No secret that the southern Rhone had a great,great vintage in 2007...and given that these wines are never the darlings of speculators and wine elitists,but rather wine drinkers,this is a treasure-rich source of incredible value and quality...."
Robert Parker

The Domaine La Milliere is one of those incredible values from the vintage that will be drinking well young and over the next 5- 7 years.

Arrival Expected in October 2009

Reviews

Robert Parker 92-94 points

The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes reveals gorgeous aromas of spring flowers, crushed black cherries, ink, lavender, and spice. The wine is dense ruby/purple-hued, deep, and full-bodied with terrific concentration, a layered texture, and a stunningly long finish. It should drink beautifully young, yet age for 15 or more years.

International Wine Cellar 90-93 Points

Bright ruby. Intensely perfumed, with a spicy bouquet of raspberry, kirsch, smoky herbs and minerals. Open-knit red and dark berry flavors coat the palate and are supported by fine-grained tannins. Finishes with good sweetness, clarity and an echo of minerals. Here's another 2007 that will be very appealing on release.
