    Somm Note

    Winemaker Notes

    Deep ruby red color. On the nose, the red fruit aromas are intense, with notes of vanilla and brioche bread due to the barrel-aging process. Very powerful on the palate, full-bodied with straight tannins. Its structure implies a long ageing potential, ideally between 5 to 10 years.

    Blend: 60% Grenache, 40% Syrah

    This wine is the ideal accompaniment to refined dishes like a piece de boeuf or duck a l’orange. The wine will be in harmony with a strong cheese, preferably with a dry goat cheese.

    Domaine Brunely is located in Sarrians, a small village in Vaucluse, between Rhone and Ventoux. Since the 1990s Charles Carichon, who took over from his father, has not stopped from modernizing the equipment and also increasing the production. Several appellations are spread over 70 hectares, which allows for the domain to present a varied range of the Rhone Valley crus, in red, whites and roses, all vinified and bottled at the property.

    With bold fruit flavors and accents of sweet spice, Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre form the base of the classic Rhône Red Blend, while Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise often come in to play. Though they originated from France’s southern Rhône Valley, with some creative interpretation, Rhône blends have also become popular in other countries. Somm Secret—Putting their own local spin on the Rhône Red Blend, those from Priorat often include Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah make an appearance.

    Famous for its full-bodied, seductive and spicy reds with flavor and aroma characteristics reminiscent of black cherry, baked raspberry, garrigue, olive tapenade, lavender and baking spice, Châteauneuf-du-Pape is the leading sub-appellation of the southern Rhône River Valley. Large pebbles resembling river rocks, called "galets" in French, dominate most of the terrain. The stones hold heat and reflect it back up to the low-lying gobelet-trained vines. Though the galets are typical, they are not prominent in every vineyard. Chateau Rayas is the most obvious deviation with very sandy soil.

    According to law, eighteen grape varieties are allowed in Châteauneuf-du-Pape and most wines are blends of some mix of these. For reds, Grenache is the star player with Mourvedre and Syrah coming typically second. Others used include Cinsault, Counoise and occasionally Muscardin, Vaccarèse, Picquepoul Noir and Terret Noir.

    Only about 6-7% of wine from Châteauneuf-du-Pape is white wine. Blends and single-varietal bottlings are typically based on the soft and floral Grenache Blanc but Clairette, Bourboulenc and Roussanne are grown with some significance.

    The wine of Chateauneuf-du-Pape takes its name from the relocation of the papal court to Avignon. The lore says that after moving in 1309, Pope Clément V (after whom Chateau Pape-Clément in Pessac-Léognan is named) ordered that vines were planted. But it was actually his successor, John XXII, who established the vineyards. The name however, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, translated as "the pope's new castle," didn’t really stick until the 19th century.
