PIEDLONG 2022 - Red Wine (Famille Brunier - Vieux Télégraphe)

AGE OF VINES: 70 years (Grenache) and 50 years (Mourvèdre).

LOCATION: blend of two plots located 129 metres above sea level: Piedlong (Grenache), Pignan (Mourvèdre).

SOIL:

• The Piedlong lieu-dit (9 ha) sits on the highest plateau of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, consisting of PLIOCENE sandy-clay soil overlying the molassic sandstones and sands of Carpentras (MIOCENE).
  
  
• The Pignan lieu-dit (2 ha) is located east of the Piedlong plot and rests on Carpentras molassic sandstones and sands dating back to the MIDDLE MIOCENE geological epoch (-13 million years).

"This cuvée is the antidote to 'trendy wines' and serves gastronomy for immediate pleasure. A true gem of balance, this delicious ruby-red vintage enchants us with a nose of Morello cherry and wild berries, dusted with subtle peppery notes. Featuring a round, aromatic body with a silky mouthfeel, stretching with elegance into delicate liquorice nuances, this wine is crafted for wine lovers seeking luscious fruit without sacrificing the complexity of a grand terroir. Ideally enjoyed after a brief 30-minute decanting."
