Piedlong is a rather special Chateauneuf-du-Pape that the Brunier brothers have produced from two distinct parcels since the 2011 vintage. It is a blend of 90% Grenache (sourced from 70-year-old vines) and 10% Mourvﾨﾨdre (from 50-year-old vines). The Grenache is situated on the stony Piedlong plateau (full of galets roulﾨﾦs) in the heart of the Chateauneuf appellation, north of the village and the highest point in the production area (128m). The Mourvﾨﾨdre comes from the sandy Pignan lieu-dit, east of Piedlong. The wine is aged for 20 months in French oak foudres and there is no filtration or fining. This is a classic Brunier wine with the mineral expression dominating the character although there is plenty of richness and depth too.[#intro]A velvety Chateauneuf-du-Pape perfectly pitched between richness, freshness, robustness & femininity...[/intro]
