Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Roquète - Anciennement La Roquette (Domaine de) Vignobles Brunier 1998
The wine
The domain's main wine, the red La Roquète is produced from vines with an average age of 30 years. The production process favours the traditional Châteauneuf methods and fermentation containers (concrete vats, then oak tuns). On the nose, it tends towards very ripe black berries and prunes. In the mouth, the wine is tannic without being aggressive, full bodied and long. This wine evolves faster than Vieux Télégraphe in particular, and can be drunk and enjoyed while young.
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.
