Domaine André Brunel Les Cailloux Chateauneuf du Pape 2014
The Les Cailloux Châteauneuf-du-Pape takes its name from the countless round pebbles present in the vineyards as well being at the origin of the Domaine’s name. Made from Grenache, with additions of Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault this is a deeply coloured wine with complex aromas of ripe red fruits, leather and attractive hints of undergrowth. A concentrated, yet elegant red wine with smooth flavours, harmonious and fine tannins and a long, layered finish.
