“One of the oldest estates in Chateauneuf du Pape (the winery, which is actually a true chateau, was constructed in the mid-1700s), Chateau de Vaudieu is located adjacent to Rayas, just a few kilometers northeast of the village. One of the appellation-s largest estates (175 acres in vine), Vaudieu’s quality has soared over recent years as the famed oenologist Philippe Cambie has been working here since 2003. The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape is a full-bodied, exceptionally aromatic effort displaying plenty of sweet black cherry, licorice, garrigue, and earth as well as a subtle note of oak in a full-bodied, opulent style. As the wine sits in the glass, whiffs of raspberries and figs also emerge from this substantial, fleshy, irresistible Chateauneuf du Pape. Enjoy it over the next 10-15 years.”Wine Advocate 92 points
“This is saturated, with braised fig, melted black licorice and freshly brewed espresso notes forming the core, with bittersweet ganache, mesquite and iron notes weaving through the background. The long, tarry finish has really nice drive. A domaine on the rise. Drink now through 2022. 4,192 cases made.”Wine Spectator 92 points
