Château Mas Neuf - Tradition Rouge 2007

Name: Château Mas Neuf - Tradition Rouge 2007
Brand: Château Mas Neuf
Rating: 3.6 (8 reviews)

Costières de Nîmes|Red wine

3.6/5 (8 customers)

This 2007 Tradition red is undoubtedly the estate’s finest wine. Generosity and richness are the key words that best describe this cuvée— —which, it should be noted, was aged in barrels previously used for Grand Cru Classé wines (Smith Haut Lafitte, Lafite Rothschild, Pape Clément). The nose evokes red currants and wild strawberries, while the palate charms with its balance of both density and freshness, lending it great elegance, punctuated by a taut finish marked by beautifully crafted tannins. A true classic from a truly great vintage!

Rated estate (2012 guide): 3*Stars (Very high-quality production)

About the estate:

“Luc Baudet had the audacity to settle in this region, which is still strongly influenced by the cooperative. Deeply attached to the Costières de Nîmes, he made his home at Mas Neuf. The richness of the terroirs allows him to offer three types of cuvée: Rhône Paradox, focused on the freshness and purity of the fruit; Compostelle, the result of careful selection from old vines, as well as grapes from the best plots; and finally Armonio, born from a collaboration with Louis Mitjavile (of Tertre Roteboeuf in Saint-Émilion, among others).”
