CDP Senechaux, Domaine des Sénéchaux 2007

Tasting Notes

The fabulous 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape (a blend of 64% Grenache, 19% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, and the rest Cinsault and Vaccarese) boasts a deep plum/ruby/purple color as well as a super expressive perfume that represents the essence of Provence. Fresh bouquet garni, roasted Provencal herbs, licorice, black cherries, and black currant aromas soar from the glass of this full-bodied, incredibly deep, savory wine. Juicy and succulent with terrific acidity, freshness, and length, it is accessible now, and should continue to drink well for 12-15 or more years. Bravo to the Cazes family! Drink 2009-2024.

Senechaux’s 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape is one sexy Chateauneuf that has notes of ripe black cherries, garrigue and flowers soaring from the glass. Ripe, full-bodied and showing the purity, complexity and seamlessness that’s the hallmark of this vintage (and the estate), it’s drinking at point but will keep for another 7-8 years with no issues.

Fresh, pure and well-defined, with a beam of dark currant, fig and boysenberry fruit kept honest by graphite and black tea notes.The seamless finish sails on. Drink now through 2022.-

This dense ruby/purple colored wine reveals a sumptuous bouquet of kirsch, black currants, licorice, incense, and a hint of charcoal. Dense, opulent, and full-bodied, offering a hedonistic explosion of fruit and glycerin as well as the vintage's freshness, this substantial effort should drink well for 15+ years.
