Andre Brunel Chateauneuf du Pape 2016 750ml (750ml)

The Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2016 is a classic blend dominated by Grenache, with Syrah and Mourvèdre adding depth and structure. The 2016 vintage was exceptional across the Rhône Valley, delivering wines of concentration, purity, and balance. This cuvée opens with aromas of ripe red berries, garrigue herbs, licorice, and hints of pepper. On the palate, it combines richness with freshness, showing layers of cherry, plum, and spice wrapped in velvety tannins. The finish is long and savory, with a fine balance of fruit and mineral tension. It is approachable in youth but has the structure to age gracefully for well over a decade.
