The Wine The Wine
France
Region:Rhône - Côtes du Rhône
The Bécassonne cuvée comes from a unique plot, particularly suited for this production of white wine in the Rhône. A clay earth on a calcareous subsoil which all lies on a hill exposed to the rising sun but protected from the burning setting sun by a pine forest, allowing the grapes to fully ripen and to give a floral and exotic character to this wine while preserving a real freshness which is fairly rare for the white Côtes du Rhône Blanc.
The Winemaker The Winemaker
André Brunel
André's winemaking heritage stretches back to the 17th Century. Numerous generations followed on, all working in the vineyards but it was only in 1954 that Lucien Brunel created the name "Les Cailloux". In 1971, André took over the reins of the Domaine making some considerable changes in the vine management process by being one of the first people in Châteauneuf du Pape to use the ground covering method and to proceed with a non-chemical approach to wine-farming.
"The cuvée is characterized by hints of floral and exotic fruits. Exceptional climatic conditions allowed an optimal maturation of the Roussanne and Clairette grapes. This wine combines body and freshness and is a perfect aperitif." - André Brunel, Winemaker.
