Domaine Les Cailloux - André Brunel

Domaine Les Cailloux - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Centenaire 2022

"One of the greatest vintages for this cuvée!

"A seductive, velvety, caressing wine from Grenache vines planted in 1889. The nose reveals notes of cherries, sweet berries, dried herbs and mild spices. Medium- to full-bodied, with fine tannins. The wine is bright, with notes of orange peel and succulent berries mingling with herbs and spices. Lively and vertical, with tension and an infused yet dense texture on the palate. Persistent and spectacular." (James Suckling 2024)

Domaine Les Cailloux - Châteauneuf-du-Pape blanc 2023

"One of the 3 best whites in the appellation".

"An elegant, complex bouquet of white flowers, apricot, jasmine and lemon oil introduces Châteauneuf du Pape Blanc 2023, a medium- to full-bodied, pure and structured white wine with a fleshy core of fruit, bright acids and a lively, airy floral finish." (Wine Advocate 2024)

Domaine Les Cailloux - Châteauneuf-du-Pape rouge 2021

"Among the 8 Rhône wines to buy as a priority".

"A velvety, structured and controlled red, with a nose of black cherry, crushed raspberry, wild strawberry, baking spices and dried herbs. The palate is full-bodied, with finely grained tannins. The balance and harmony are impressive for the vintage, with a long, funnel-like finish." (James Suckling 2024).

Domaine Les Cailloux - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Centenaire 2019 (Magnum)

"Large format

" A wine that will tend toward perfection in 4-5 years, the Centenaire 2019 reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as extraordinary notes of black cherry, licorice, iron, nori and peppery garrigue. As a basis for this 2019, the estate has done an incredible job, particularly on the tannins. This wine is perfectly balanced, with ultra-fine tannins, no hard edges and pure class to evolve over 25 years and more. [...]" (Jeb Dunnuck)

Domaine Les Cailloux - Châteauneuf-du-Pape rouge 2017 (Mag)

4.7/5 (3 reviews)

"On macerated red fruits, cherries and spices, complexity is brought by notes of dried herbs and maquis. The aromatic ensemble is just right, and the level of maturity is revealed without any stylistic heaviness. On the palate, the power is diffused, the structure sapid. This Châteauneuf evolves more in finesse than in opulence, testifying to a Burgundian spirit". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France 2021 - RVF) Among the 8 Rhône wines to buy as a priority!

Domaine Les Cailloux - Châteauneuf-du-Pape rouge 2016 (Magnum)

"I've tasted many vintages of Brunel's wines, and 2016 seems to be the best ever. The 2016 Châteauneuf du Pape stood out in my blind tasting, offering incredible complexity and lightness despite its roundness. Roses, garrigue and dried spices accent raspberry and cherry notes in a concentrated, intense yet lively wine with multiple nuances." (Wine Advocate - Joe Czerwinski)
