Viniou Reviews

The 2007 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape is an exemplary red wine from the southern Rhône Valley. This wine is renowned for its blend of traditional Rhône grape varieties, primarily Grenache, supported by Syrah and Mourvèdre, although the exact composition isn't explicitly listed in your description. The 2007 vintage was particularly exceptional, benefiting from favourable weather conditions that led to ripe berries and structured wines. The terroir of Châteauneuf-du-Pape is characterised by its unique galets roulés, large round pebbles that retain heat and help ripen the grapes, contributing to the wine's complex and full-bodied nature.

The Rhône Valley, particularly the southern part where Châteauneuf-du-Pape is located, enjoys a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The region has a rich history, with viticulture dating back to the time of the Popes in Avignon in the 14th century, hence the name Châteauneuf-du-Pape, which means 'new castle of the Pope'. The soils here are highly diverse, combining limestone, sandstone, and the characteristic pebbles, each adding a layer of complexity to the resulting wines.

When it comes to food pairing, the 2007 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape pairs beautifully with rich, hearty dishes. Think of slow-cooked lamb shanks, a classic beef stew, or even a coq au vin that complements the wine's bold flavours and spicy undertones. Regionally, dishes such as daube provençale, a traditional Provençal stew, would be an excellent match, drawing on the wine's depth and earthiness.

For optimal enjoyment, serve this wine at a temperature of around 16-18°C. It should ideally be decanted for at least an hour to allow its complex aromas and flavours to fully develop. This will enhance your tasting experience, providing a deep dive into the layers of dark fruit, spice, and the distinctive notes of the southern Rhône terroir.
