1978 Les Cailloux Chateauneuf du Pape

Andre Brunel tends 50 acres of prime Châteauneuf vineyards and produces very suave, silky, refined wines that combine aromatic complexity with uncommon richness on the palate. The special Cuvée Centenaire, offered in the best years, is worth a special search. This latter cuvee comes primarily from Grenache vines dating back to 1899. The Châteauneuf Blanc is also complex and appealling.
