I can't help it... Rhone is just one of the best values in wine. This Is A Steal!SAVE 40% Fifty Dollar Chateauneuf du Pape From Parkers Best Vintage Ever For Thirty "Tasting the 2007s out of bottle has confirmed my thoughts - this is a truly historic and profoundly great vintage."- Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate, October, 2009 When Parker deemed 2007 Southern Rhone the greatest of his lifetime, he meant he thought it the greatest vintage of any region, anywhere in the world, in his 33 years of tasting wine. When a Winery decides to move from one importer to another, opportunities can arise and this case we got lucky and have a truly amazing deal on a great Chateauneuf du Pape from this great vintage. The 2007 Cellier des Princes Chateauneuf du Pape while supplies last can be had at $29.99 per bottle by the case. This is a 40 % savings on a truly exceptional wine. Quality from this vintage is absolutely sold out. Tanzer loved the giving it 90pts and I tasted the wine last week and it delicious, softening nicely with rich concentrated red fruits, a complex bouquet and satiny supple on the back end. The wine won Gold Medal at the Challenge International du Vin. The great wine writer Jancis Robinson rated the wine 17 out of 20, the same score others that are well passed the $80 mark. This quality from such a great vintage, from a region of such pedigree under $30 is unheard of. This is the King of the Southern Rhone, Chateauneuf du Pape, making some of the greatest wines in the world. Cellier des Princes is one of the longest established producers from the region. This wine is absolute nectar! A spectacular buy!

Medium red. Seductively perfumed bouquet displays scents of redcurrant, cherry and rose, with an undercurrent of spices and minerals. Acts like a pinot on the nose, offering gently sweet red fruit flavors and good mineral snap. The finish repeats the floral and mineral notes and lingers with impressive clarity and persistence.
