". . . both are sensational vintages for the Maret family. The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape les Hautes Brusquières Cuvee Speciale (a 60/40 split of Grenache and Syrah) is a big, massive wine that has an exotic edge to its black raspberry, orange blossom, licorice, spice box and garrigue-driven aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, polished and seamless on the palate, with that perfectly ripe tannin quality that's rare to find outside of the 2007 vintage, this beautiful Chateauneuf du Pape . . ."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Spans the Syrah-driven northern crus of Cote-Rotie and Hermitage and the Grenache-based blends of the warmer south, led by Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Its wines are known for power, spice and warmth.
The southern Rhone's most famous appellation, blending Grenache with Syrah, Mourvedre and more into rich, warming, spice-laden reds from galet-strewn soils.
A warm-climate red giving generous, high-alcohol wines of red fruit and spice. It anchors southern Rhone blends and old-vine wines in Spain and Australia.
Syrah (Shiraz) produces dark, powerful reds with black fruit, pepper and smoked-meat notes. It yields elegant, perfumed wines in the northern Rhone and bold, rich styles in Australia.
