The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Alchimie (74% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Vaccarese, and Counoise, all aged in foudres) is a soft, generously-endowed, dark ruby/plum-colored wine revealing sweet notes of black cherry jam intermixed with licorice, herbs, and spice. This velvety-textured 2007 is ideal for drinking over the next 7-8 years.
Domaine des 3 Celliers tends to take a middle of the road position between traditionally and modern-styled Chateauneuf du Papes. A fairly large domaine with 33+ acres under vine, it fashions three separate cuvees of red Chateauneuf, all excellent to outstanding.
No known American importer.
