2007 Domaine Le Colombier Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes
91+, Robert Parker
Le Colombier’s 2007 Vacqueyras Vieilles Vignes, composed of old vine Grenache (80%) and Mourvedre (20%), is fermented and aged in concrete vats in order to preserve the fruit. The dark red fruit flavors show exceptional ripeness and amazing depth, and the wine dazzles with “[p]owerful aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry and tobacco, plus a subtle hint of black pepper.” Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, January 2009. “The wine is powerful, pure, layered, and altogether a brilliant example of Vacqueyras that should drink nicely for 6-8 years.” Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, October 2009
2007 Domaine Le Colombier Vacqueyras Cuvée “G”
92, Wine Spectator; 90, Robert ParkerThe Domaine’s 2007 Vacqueyras Cuvée “G” contains old vine Grenache (50%) and Syrah (50%), and is aged for 10 months in one-year old French Oak after its initial maceration in concrete vats. This full-bodied wine exhibits a complex bouquet of flowers and ripe dark fruits, an extremely well balanced mouth-feel with silky tannins and an exceptionally long finish. “Seductive, full-bodied, and exhibiting some toasty vanilla notes that are not dominant or intrusive, this is a beauty to drink over the next 5-6 years.” Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, October 2009.
Le Colombier’s 2007 Vacqueyras Cuvée “G” and Vieilles Vignes are exceptional wines that should not be missed.
