Domaine Grand Veneur Châteauneuf-du-Pape Vieilles Vignes 2007 is a full-bodied red wine from the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation of the southern Rhône Valley. Domaine Grand Veneur was founded in 1976 by Alain Jaume, who succeeded in transforming his family`s bulk winemaking business into one of the most respected fine wine brands in the southern Rhône. The estate is now run by siblings Sébastien, Christophe and Hèlène - the sixth generation of the Jaume winegrowing family. "The newest special cuvee (introduced in 2006) is the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes (50% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, and 10% Syrah). Made from 50- to 100+-year-old vines and aged 18 months in small oak barrels, it is potentially one of the longest lived wines of the vintage. This exquisite, dense purple-coloured effort reveals intense but restrained notes of cassis, kirsch, lavender, licoricey, and graphite. A wine of great intensity as well as remarkable finesse and elegance, is a full-bodied Chateauneuf that will require plenty of patience." Robert Parker, 2009

Vinous
- (50% grenache, 40% mourvedre and 10% syrah) Bright purple. Exotically perfumed bouquet of ripe raspberry, boysenberry and cherry, with complicating notes of cola, sassafras and star anise. Deep, juicy dark fruit flavors provide impressive palate coverage and are braced by zesty minerality. The dark berry and cola notes resonate on the long, focused finish. This is already appealing but seems built to age. (Kysela Pere et Fils, Winchester VA
