The score for 2007 Domaine de St Siffrein Chateauneuf du Pape is 94 from Robert Parker and the tasting note - The finest effort I have yet tasted from this estate, the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape is composed of 65% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, and 5% Cinsault. Its traditional upbringing included 100% aging in old foudres. Its dense ruby/purple color is followed by a big, sweet, juicy kiss of kirsch liqueur intermixed with blacker fruits, raspberries, licorice, camphor, and hints of lavender and incense. The wine exhibits terrific concentration, full-bodied intensity, and a 45-50-second finish. This sensational Chateauneuf du Pape will benefit from another 2-3 years of bottle age, and should drink well for 15-20 years. Owned by one of the appellation’s oldest families, whose history extends back to the late 19th century, proprietor Claude Chastan is a gentleman farmer whose family began to estate bottle in the early fifties. Saint-Siffrein has 35 acres of vines, all in the northern end of Chateauneuf du Pape in two great lieux-dits, Palestor and Cabrieres. Occasionally, St.-Siffrein produces a special cuvee from 60- to 100-year-old vines called Terre d’Abel, but I did not see one in 2007, and do not know if they made one.
