Description (by producer & GT in English only) :
Aging : 62 % in oak barrels 38 % in casks & wooden vat Vines’ age : 40 years (average) Cellaring : A minimum of 15 years VINTAGE. 2007 had more days of Mistral during September than any other year except 2001, 1990, and 1978, three other years which produced superb wines. While the average daytime temperature was well above average, the average night-time temperature was among the lowest of any vintage measured in Châteauneuf du Pape, particularly for September. This weather scenario has produced a vintage with extraordinary depth of fruit, yet also laser-like precision, brightness, and exceptional purity. Despite being hotter than normal, the year rarely had any days over 30 degrees Celsius. Moreover, in the month of September, 2007, there were no days above 30 degrees Celsius, which was the first top vintage since 2001 where this occurred. The other characteristic is that 2007 set an all-time record for hours of sunshine during the course of the year. It was also a record year in terms of the lack of rain in both August and September
