"The 2007 Clos du Château des Ducs is a really lovely example of this vintage and a wine that will drink very well early on by the long-lived standards of this fine premier cru. The bouquet offers up a beautiful, sappy mélange of cherries, blood orange, a touch of raw cocoa, lovely soil tones and a topnote of dusty rose. On the palate the wine is deep, fullish and nascently complex, with a lovely core of sappy fruit, lovely balance and a stunning backend of excellent soil signature and modest tannins. While this wine is already quite accessible, I would give it five or six years in the cellar to allow its secondary layers of complexity to fully emerge. A very fine 2007."
