2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape “Piedlong”

Famille Brunier
Discount Eligible $65.00
SOLD OUT

Having bought the Piedlong parcel, the highest in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, in 1986, the Bruniers spent over two decades farming and blending the Grenache grown here before they decided it showed a distinct and enchanting character that merited its own bottling. Since that inaugural 2011 vintage, Piedlong has continued to prove them right, yielding a gorgeous Châteauneuf that tends to be ready to dive into a little earlier than the Bruniers’ La Crau bottling. At once robust, succulent, and elegant, this red offers immediate pleasure and age-worthy promise.

Vintage Chart

Trust the great winemakers, trust the great vineyards. Your wine merchant might even be trustworthy. In the long run, that vintage strip may be the least important guide to quality on your bottle of wine.—Kermit Lynch
