2014 Domaine Brunet Les Chabriles Vieilles Vignes, Cairanne, Rhône Valley

( £10-£15, 13.5%, Vinconnexion )

A concentrated, yet lighly oaked, unfiltered, old vine blend of Grenache and Syrah from one of the best domaines in the village of Cairanne, this is my kind of southern Rhône red. Spicy, mineral and focused with youthful red and dark berry fruit, hints of pepper and clove and firm but beautifully integrated tannins. Great value, too.
