James Suckling: 94/100
The Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC, Cuvée Centenaire, from André Brunel, is only produced during exceptional vintages, when it can fully express the quintessence of the Grenache. This Cuvée is issued from the most beautiful plot of the Domaine: a clay-rich soil with perfect sunshine exposition. The average age of the vines planted on this plot is 125 years.
Acclaimed by critics as one of the most stunning Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Cuvée Centenaire 2016 reached 100 points from Robert Parker. 2022 is considered one of the best vintage for this Cuvée: it’s been cited as one of the top 10 wines worldwide by Robb Report, among the most prestigious labels you can find.
Tasting notes. A rich and expressive nose: intense nose on blackberries with a warm breath and hints of thyme. Powerful and roundness in the mouth: the perfect example of power, without the feeling of heaviness. An impressively long finish in the mouth, the tannins are perfectly mellow. There are dominant aromas of undergrowth and leather. Complex aromas up until then uniquely reserved to wine having aged for a long period of time, are already present.
This wine pairs beautifully with game meats, roasted lamb, or hearty stews.
The Cuvée Centenaire 2022 will become more complex with age. Even if it’s hard to wait, a good 10 years is necessary for its full potential to be revealed. For the most impatient, it will be advisable to put it in a closed carafe the day before consuming.
