2010 Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine de la Roquète, Vignobles Brunier

Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine de la Roquete, Vignobles Brunier
Farmed on soils which are both sandy and pebbly, La Roquète is a poised and complex wine. With 70% Grenache providing the sweet fruit and a balance of Syrah and Mourvèdre adding structure and a savoury note, this is richly textured with a silky tannic backdrop and an engagingly sweet and rounded finish.
Simon Field MW, BBR Buyer, February 2012

Daniel Brunier detects a ‘strong sinewy’ character in his 2010s, something of the 2005 in other words, but with greater depth. His wines are perhaps more Roundhead than the Cavalier vintages of 2009 and 2007 and will be very long-lasting as a result. The on-going evolution ( if you will pardon the tautology) of La Roquète continues to impress and les Pallières bears virtually no resemblance at all to the raw and sinewy Gigondas I first encountered, with no lack of trepidation, a decade ago.
