2007 Les Cailloux Chateauneuf-du-Pape Brunel

Tasting Note:

Two brilliant successes are Brunel_s cuvees of 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape. The 2007 Les Cailloux Tradition (a blend of 65% Grenache 20% Mourvedre 12% Syrah and 3% other authorized varieties) comes from 60-year-old vines and is aged completely in tank except for the Mourvedre and Syrah components which are kept in small barrels. Explosively fruity this dense plum/purple-colored wine displays grilled meat notes intermixed with Provencal herbs spice box black cherry and black currant in addition to having a lush opulent texture. The finish goes on and on and the wine is beautifully pure. It can be drunk now or cellared for 12 or more years. Source: Wine Advocate
