André Brunel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Rouge
AOC Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Rhône
The grapes for this cuvée are sourced from a number of long term growers and a variety of different terroirs, each with its own characteristics. Vineyards planted on deficient and filtering gravel beds produce concentrated wine; clay soils contribute a rich aromatic quality; and chalky limestone soils bring structure and a long finish to the blend. The vines, younger than those of the cuvée "Les Cailloux", allow this wine to be enjoyed while it is young. The oak-aged Syrah in the blend, however, gives the wine structure and body, and cellaring for 3-5 years will allow the wine to express its full structure and complexity.
Tasting Notes
Dominant aromas of red and black fruits enhanced by a touch of oak from the barrel-aged Syrah and a touch of leather and earth complement the harmonious tannins rounding out an elegant and long finish.
Food Pairings
Cheese fondue, hearty beef stroganoff, roasted turkey, grilled red meat, ratatouille, and dishes with red wine sauces.
Winemaking Notes
Maceration in concrete vats after destemming of 70% of the Grenache, and total destemming for the Syrah and Mourvèdre. Racking and return for 5 weeks.
Technical Info
70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 5%, Mourvèdre
