Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Roquète - Anciennement La Roquette (Domaine de) L'Accent Vignobles Brunier 2005

The wine

L'Accent de la Roquète is a parcel-based selection by the domain, produced in very limited quantities. It comes from a vineyard of old Grenache Noir vines located on a stony plateau overlooking the village of Châteauneuf-du-Pape to the south. It perfectly illustrates the "La Roquète" identity, which seeks to reflect lieux-dits such as Piedlong, Pignan, Colombis and Cabrière.

About the Producer La Roquète

Domaine de la Roquète (previously spelt “Roquette”) belongs to the Brunier family, who also own the Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, also in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. It was bought by the family in 1986 and is composed of 29 hectares in the Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC, 7 hectares in the Côtes du Ventoux AOC and 3 hectares in Vin de Pays areas, on the shores of the Rhone. The vines were rigorously reconditioned after the purchase, and a modern winery was built in 1998. Dominated by Grenache, the wines can be drunk young and have a pure, direct style. For this appellation, these wines have a nice freshness.
