The blockbuster 2001 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Hautes Brusquieres Cuvee Speciale is fashioned from a single vineyard lieu-dit of the same name planted on the high plateau behind the village. Made from 100% destemmed Grenache and Syrah (60% of the former and 40% of the latter), malolactic fermentation occurs both in foudre and barrel, and some new oak is utilized. The deep ruby/purple-colored 2001 offers a sweet nose of creme de cassis, raspberries, cherry liqueur, smoke, and truffles. Full-bodied, with high levels of glycerin, tremendous purity, and a voluptuous, long, fruit and flavor-filled finish, this is a multilayered, impressive Chateauneuf to enjoy between 2006-2017.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel.
