The Wine The Wine
France
Region:Rhône - Châteauneuf-du-Pape
These vines, planted well over 100 years ago, sit on the prettiest site with the most unique soil structure. The unusually high concentration of clay here gives the wine a mineral character that simply cannot be forged. The vines, being an average of 125 years old, have a seriously deep root structure where they bring the nutrients back to the grapes from way below the surface. When weather conditions are right, the combination is perfect Grenache. And so the Cuvée Centenaire is only made when those conditions are just right, and as a celebration of the Rhône's most important grape.

Fabrice Brunel, son of legendary winemaker André, heads up the team at this fantastic Châteauneuf estate. A winery renowned for producing a range of exceptional wines that are marked by an elegance on the palate that many other producers in the region forgo in a quest for out and out power. A fabulous winery that we've enjoyed a long working relationship with and their wines, from the bottom up, come highly recommended.
"To celebrate the 100 years of planting the most beautiful plot in the Domaine, located in the eponymous sector of Farguerol, Lucien and I decided in 1989 to create a special cuvée issued specifically from this plot which became the Cuvée Centenaire. The Cuvée Centenaire is only produced during exceptional vintages - most recently 2007 and 2010 were such years when it can fully express the quintessence of the Grenache." - Fabrice Brunel, Winemaker.
