Two brilliant successes are Brunel¿s cuvees of 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape. His limited cuvee of approximately 500 cases of the 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Centenaire (made from 80% Grenache aged in foudre, and the balance Syrah and Mourvedre aged in one- to three-year-old small barrels) comes primarily from a parcel of 120-year-old vines in the northern part of the appellation in the lieu-dit known as Farguerol. This cuvee has only been made in vintages such as 1989, 1990, 1995, 1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, and now 2007. Deep ruby/purple in color, the wine exhibits very up-front, precocious, sexy plum, black currant, and sweet cherry notes intermixed with some floral hints, licorice, and garrigue. It is dense, full-bodied, much more supple and silky-textured than the 2005 or 2001, but seemingly more concentrated than the 2000 version of this wine. It is a brilliant, full-throttle, seamless Chateauneuf du Pape capable of lasting for up to two decades, although few people will be able to resist its exuberant youthfulness. Robert Parker

ProducerDomaine André Brunel

The Brunel family has lived in the Southern Rhône since the 18th century. Andre Brunel's grandfather established the family winemaking tradition, and Andre himself took over the reins of running the Cailloux estate from his father in 1971. Under Andre's expert direction, Les Cailloux is now widely recognised as a world-class Domaine. The vineyard holdings today span 80 hectares throughout the southern Rhône valley. See More

Tasting Notes

"More redcurrants, loamy earth, forest floor, and peppery notes define the 2021 Châteauneuf Du Pape La Millière Vieilles Vignes, a medium-bodied, nicely balanced, silky wine that has fine tannins and a forward, charming, undeniably delicious style. It's going to keep for 7-8 years as well." 90, Jeb Dunnuck

Bottle shot of 2019 Châteauneuf du Pape Rouge 'Le Couchant'

Tasting Notes

"The 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape Le Couchant, which includes a good chunk of Mourvèdre, offers more structure and depth, with perfumed red and black fruits, tobacco, earth, game, and peppery nuances. I love its overall balance, it has silky tannins, medium to full-bodied richness, and just loads to love. Drink it over the coming 15 years or more." 94+, Jeb...
