FAMILLE BRUNIER - Châteauneuf-du-Pape Piedlong 2020

Originating from an exceptional terroir of rolled pebbles (galets roulés) in the heart of the southern Rhône Valley, this cuvée is crafted by the Brunier Family. It is made from a blend of local grape varieties, primarily Grenache, which achieved optimal ripeness thanks to the Mediterranean climate and the influence of the Mistral wind.
