Lot #729. Lucien et André Brunel Les Cailloux Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2009

Description: Consists of 12 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 95 WE.
"The 2009 Les Cailloux is a classically built Châteauneuf that should age well through at least 2025. The blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvèdre, 12% Syrah and 3% Cinsault starts off with lovely notes of wild thyme and dark fruit, then adds herbal complexity and chocolaty richness. It's full bodied yet firm, with some dusty but elegant tannins on the finish. It's excellent now, but will be even better in 2016 and beyond." Wine Enthusiast, 2/1/2013
Provenance: The Sea Cliff Cellar
Lot Location: Orange County
Estimate: $250
