Score 100/100 · Drink 2010-2032, Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate, Mar 2017

One of the most profound wines in the vintage is unquestionable the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee les Grenache de Pierre, which is 100% Grenache, from sandy soils in the la Crau lieu-dit, raised all in concrete tanks and bottled unfiltered. Its deep ruby color is followed by an incredible bouquet of black cherries, black raspberries, licorice, dried herbs and garrigue. Deep, layered, gorgeously concentrated and ultra-fine, with sweet, ripe tannin and an incredible elegance, drink this sensational juice anytime over the coming 10-15 years.

Bright ruby. Ripe black raspberry and cherry aromas are complemented by sexy floral and incense notes, with hints of baking spices and minerals adding lift. Juicy, sweet and focused, offering vivid red fruit flavors and a strong undercurrent of tangy minerality. Packs serious punch but there's also a pinot-like elegance to this wine that's intriguing. The pliant, lush finish echoes the red fruit and spice notes and refuses to let go of the palate. (Eric Solomon Selections, Charlotte NC

100% old vine Grenache from the sandy soils in the Crau and Pignan vineyards, the 2007 Domaine Giraud Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée les Grenaches de Pierre possesses a dark, dense personality with black cherry, raspberry, earth, violets and crushed stone notes intermixed with pepper and subtle leather nuances. The palate is stunning with full body, a precise, silky texture, perfect balance and a long finish where ripe, fine grain tannins firm things up. One of the top wines of the vintage and this should age effortlessly for 20+ years!
