Andre Brunel Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Cailloux 2022

Full Product Description (From the manufacturer)

The 2022 harvest began unusually early, resulting in a rich and expressive wine that remains true to the character of our terroir. From the very whiff, this vintage reveals generous aromas of ripe, jammy fruits. On the palate, it is ample and silky, supported by supple, nuanced tannins. The finish is long and lingering, with refined spicy notes that bring depth and complexity. Enjoyable now for its brilliance and indulgence, this wine also holds the promise of graceful agingover the years.Blend: 70% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah A seductive, textural and well-crafted blend of grenache, syrah and mourvedre. It exhibits aromas of currants, dried herbs, roasted meat, mushrooms and orange peel. Medium- to full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. So velvety and refined on the palate. Poised and complete with a bright, succulent and long finish. Drink or hold. Decidedly savory, with tugs of tar, dried sausage and warm soil surrounding plum, melted licorice and anise. Lifted and smooth, with gentle tannins paving the silky finish. Shows depth without heaviness, while sandalwood smoke drifts from beginning to end. Grenache, Mourvedre and Syrah. Best from 2026 through 2038. 5,000 cases made, 630 cases imported.
