2007 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge “l’Accent de la Roquète”

Domaine la Roquète

A suave Châteauneuf, La Roquète is to Châteauneuf-du-Pape what Les Amoureuses is to Chambolle Musigny, what Charmes is to Meursault. For stoniness and power, go to Vieux Télégraphe. At La Roquète, you are moved by its unusual elegance. I imagine a handsome chevalier on a prancing stallion.  

**Extremely limited quantities, limit one bottle per order**

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
