This is Châteauneuf-du-Pape the old-fashioned way. Domaine Brun-Avril makes just one red each vintage, rather than splitting its vineyards into a ladder of prestige cuvées. At the heart of that red is a south-facing hill in Farguerol, in the northern part of the appellation: clay-sand soil covered in large pebbles and planted with Grenache about a hundred years old. Mourvèdre was planted wherever an old Grenache vine died and was pulled out, and it now makes up about a tenth of the plot. The winemakers are new, but the family isn't. The Avrils have been in Châteauneuf since the 14th century, and Nathalie and Jean-Jacques Brun studied viticulture just so they could keep the 5 hectares they inherited, founding the domaine in 2008. Their son Henri joined in 2020, and the family has been bringing more of its old plots back into the fold, including plots in neighbouring Pied de Baud. 2021 is the year official organic conversion began, so this bottle carries no organic label.

Flatiron's Take

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

Braised lamb shoulder with garlic and herbes de Provence; daube provençale; duck legs with green olives; grilled lamb chops with rosemary; wild mushroom and white bean cassoulet.

Tasting Profile

Expect the classic old-school Châteauneuf-du-Pape profile: ripe red cherry, raspberry and kirsch from old-vine Grenache, with dried Provençal herbs, black pepper and a savoury, earthy edge from the Mourvèdre and Syrah. It's typically full-bodied and generous, with warm, rounded fruit, supple but firm tannins and a long, spicy, dry finish.
