  Domaine André Brunel Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2009

  Snoothrank:

  Andre' Brunel Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2009 Maybe the first time you heard of Chateauneuf-du-Pape was when it was name-checked in a song by the Beastie Boys. But now that you've moved on from hearing about this legendary wine of France's Southern Rhone to drinking it, the 2009 Andre' Brunel is the perfect introduction to Chateauneuf-du-Pape. This Gre...
