Best known for its Châteauneuf-du-Pape bottlings, it also produces Côtes du Rhône and IGP Vaucluse wines. The Brunel family acquired their first vineyard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the 1600s, but it wasn't until 1954 that the domaine became known as Les Cailloux. The overall domaine name has changed again to reflect expansion beyond that region, though the Châteauneuf-du-Pâpe wines are continue to be labelled most prominently as Les Cailloux. Fabrice Brunel inherited the management of Domaine les Cailloux in 2012, and today oversees 21 hectares (52 acres) of cultivated vineyard in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, as well as 40ha (100 acres) in the Côtes du Rhône winemaking zone, and 30ha (74 acres) of land that is dedicated to the production of IGP Vaucluse wines. The Les Cailloux Châteauneuf-du-Pape wine is a blend dominated by Grenache (70 percent), with smaller quantities of Mourvèdre (17 percent), Syrah (10 percent) and Cinsaut (3 percent). The wine is made from vines that have an average age of 60 years old, and are planted in a combination of gravel, clay and limestone soils. The grapes are harvested by hand and oak is only used sparingly. Each vineyard plot is vinified separately and then blended approximately 15 to 18 months after harvest in a mix of concrete vats and barrels. Cuvée Centenaire is made in exceptional vintages from a selection of vines with an average age over 125 years. It is a 90:10 combination of Grenache and Syrah. The soils for these plots have more clay. Grenache is also the largest component in Cailloux's range of Côte du Rhône and IGP Vaucluse red wines. The white Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Côtes du Rhône wines are predominantly Roussanne with some Grenache Blanc. Le Petit Tracteur is a Vin de France for immediate drinking from vineyards in the north of Orange. It combines 40 percent Grenache with 20 each of Syrah and the interloper Merlot, hence the modest classification.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-04-03T12:38:14-04:00","created_at":"2024-03-29T15:27:02-04:00","vendor":"CaskCartel.com","type":"Wine","tags":["Country_France","Other_Wine","Producer_Lucien et Andre Brunel","Region_Rhone","RK270324","Source_VendorEmail0324","Type_Red Wine","Varietal_Southern Rhone Red Blend"],"price":15300,"price_min":15300,"price_max":15300,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44561774968970,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":null,"requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"2020 | Lucien et Andre Brunel | Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Cailloux","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":15300,"weight":5443,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":null,"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[],"quantity_rule":{"min":1,"max":null,"increment":1}}],"images":["\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/65_7ee76db1-5717-4403-8c2f-82d6e5ef4b3b.png?v=1711740512"],"featured_image":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/65_7ee76db1-5717-4403-8c2f-82d6e5ef4b3b.png?v=1711740512","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"2020 | Lucien et Andre Brunel | Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Cailloux at CaskCartel.com","id":26589647700106,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.322,"height":395,"width":127,"src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/65_7ee76db1-5717-4403-8c2f-82d6e5ef4b3b.png?v=1711740512"},"aspect_ratio":0.322,"height":395,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/caskcartel.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/65_7ee76db1-5717-4403-8c2f-82d6e5ef4b3b.png?v=1711740512","width":127}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003ch2\u003eRed Wine: 2020 | Lucien et Andre Brunel | Chateauneuf-du-Pape Les Cailloux\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrisp red apples, rhubarb, red cherries, picked rosemary stems, black olives and warm stones invigorate the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrder from the Largest \u0026amp; Most Trusted Premium Spirits Marketplace! \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatured in\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eROLLING STONE\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMEN'S JOURNAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUS WEEKLY\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNOTICE:\u003c\/strong\u003e Many other small liquor store sites may end up cancelling your order due to the high demand, unavailability or inaccurate inventory counts.  We have partnerships consisting of a large network of licensed retailers from within the United States, Europe and across the world ensuring orders are fulfilled.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucien et Andre Brunel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRatings: \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eWA\u003c\/span\u003e | 91  \u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eJS\u003c\/span\u003e | 94\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVintage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020\u003cb\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 750ml\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Southern Rhone Red Blend\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\/Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Rhone\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDetailed Description\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrisp red apples, rhubarb, red cherries, picked rosemary stems, black olives and warm stones invigorate the senses.
