點擊次數：3495

The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Raphael possesses terrific intensity, a lavish, almost extravagant mouthfeel, full-bodied power, and oodles of black currant and black cherry fruit intermixed with licorice, garrigue, and spice box. Dense, rich, and hedonistic, it is hard to resist now, and promises even further development over the next decade. Beaune resident Alain Corcia also has a portfolio of Burgundy wines, but some of his finest work is done in the Rhone Valley where his sympathies and passions seem to rise above his feelings for his Burgundy selections. His 2007 Rhone Valley portfolio includes the finest wines he has put together in the history of his firm. Corcia is a dedicated family man and labels all of his Collection Alain Corcia Chateauneuf du Papes after his family members. He also fashions a selection of the finest two barrels which he calls the Creme de la Creme. Each of the following wines represents about 200-250 cases, with the total Chateauneuf du Pape production around 1,500 cases. Corcia’s three children are represented by the Herve, Raphael, and Julie cuvees. While these wines are all similar in style, they do have minor differences.
