Lucien et Andre Brunel Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Cailloux 2000
/ #63654534
Les Cailloux is a classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape and the flagship cuvée of Lucien et André Brunel, a producer with a strong foothold in the area and a reputation for traditional, clear wines. The soil here is predominantly galets roulés, which often provides good heat accumulation and depth in the must.
2000 is generally considered a successful vintage in the southern Rhône, characterized by opulence, balanced ripeness and harmonious acidity. The style is classic, with Grenache dominating and complemented by the other permitted grapes; vinification is predominantly traditional with concrete or old foudres, ensuring the character of the grapes emerges without a noticeable oak character.
Les Cailloux has often shown an ability to develop tertiary notes with aging, and 2000 is now in a window where maturity and freshness meet. Internationally, the cuvée has typically scored solid reviews; Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate have both highlighted its balance and typicity in the vintage.
