TASTING NOTE: "The 2021 Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau is a solid effort from the Brunier family. The 2021 La Crau unfurls in the glass with a fragrant perfume of crushed violets, lavender, strawberry, raspberry, dried herbs, mint and a dash of white pepper. Itis full-bodied and layered, showing a refined profile marked by soft tannins and lively acids. Not as powerful as either the 2020 or 2019, but the 2021 is certainly the most elegant rendition among them. Drink: 2025-2043"
93-95 Points - Nicholas Greinacher - ABOUT THE WINE: A blend of 60% Grenache, 15% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre and the balance of Cinsault. 20% whole bunch vinification, with fruit coming from the lieu-dit "La Crau" with vine age averaging 70yo.
