Chuck Hayward, JJ Buckley, April 2011

An unqualified success from a difficult vintage. The bouquet offers up forward and perfumed fruit aromas that lead up towards an exciting palate of pure and elegant fruit. Approachable right now, the grenache-based flavors of black cherry and kirsch are subtly sweet and pretty, followed up with a soft finish supported by discreet tannins. This is a wine that will drink well over the next 6-8 years.

The Brunier brothers have turned out a very fine 2008 Chateauneuf du Pape (what they call a -vintage of freshness-). This classic effort possesses more stuffing than most of its peers. It reveals this estate's tell-tale notes of earthy garrigue, herbs, licorice and seaweed, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, soft tannins and more depth than many 2008s.

Bright ruby. Lively, musky aromas of red berries, cherry, anise, earth and spices, augmented by hints of lavender and resin. Energetic, focused redcurrant and bitter cherry flavors show good definition and pick up minerality with air. Taut on the back end, finishing with solid grip and very good, tangy persistence. I like this wine's vivacity and balance.
