The 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape (often referred to by the locals as traditional or classique) has loads of strawberry and black cherry fruit with hints of tapenade, licorice and pepper. It is deep, round and attractive, with plenty of glycerin and a real up-front, seductive quality to it. Primarily Grenache (85%) with all the other authorized varieties blended with it and aged in foudre prior to bottling, it should drink well for the next 7-8 years. With 50+ acres in Chateauneuf du Pape, the brothers Andre and Jerome Mathieu produce four separate red wine cuvees of Chateauneuf du Pape. The 2010s follow the pattern of the 2009s, except that they are deeper in color and probably have slightly lower alcohols, higher levels of acidity and lower pHs. This is a very strong vintage for the two brothers.Various American importers, including Metropolis Wine Merchants, New York, NY; Grape News Importing Ltd., Chicago, IL; and Savio Sparss Selections, Manhassat, NY.

The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape (85% Grenache and 15% other authorized red wine varietals) sees traditional aging in foudres. It exhibits classic notes of roasted Provencal herbs intermixed with notions of resiny pine forests, new saddle leather, and black cherry liqueur presented in a fresh, earthy, medium to full-bodied style with silky tannins as well as good freshness. This wine should drink nicely for 8-10 years. One of the most morsellated of all the Chateauneuf du Pape domaines (60+ parcels of vines spread out in every sector of the appellation), this is undoubtedly a very challenging estate to manage. The wine quality is excellent as evidenced by their strongest vintage to date, 2007. Only two 2008s were made.Various American importers, including Rhone Valley Importing, Wytheville, VA; tel.
