Brotte La Fiole Père Anselme Châteauneuf-du-Pape AOC Vintage 2006

Laurent Brotte was inspired by the image of the rare, unique, and handmade original La Fiole du Pape to showcase a super-premium wine with excellent ageing potential.

Each bottle has a unique iridescent and textured artisan décor handcrafted by a local Provençal glass blower.

A natural wax seals La Fiole Vintage.

The “Cuvée” is placed in a French-made lacquered wooden box.

Taken from one Châteauneuf-du-Pape barrel, only 300 exclusive, individually numbered bottles (on the label) of La Fiole Vintage 2006 were produced.

Colour – Deep ruby with orange hues.

Nose – Notes of red fruits with alcohol (cherry, blackcurrant liqueur), spices, garrigue (Mediterranean dry hills), truffles and orange peels.

Palate – Elegance, outstanding complexity and long-lasting notes of black fruit jam. Tannins are silky and fine; length is exceptional.

2006 is a classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape vintage, which has produced great wines. A cold and dry winter, followed by a hot July and cooler temperatures in August and September, resulted in a perfectly ripened harvest. (healthy grapes with phenolic maturity).

The 2006 wines were balanced, fresh, and very fine, indicating good ageing potential. Wines were generous and deeply coloured, with elegant, silky tannins and good natural acidity.

Following hand harvesting, grapes were de-stemmed, gently crushed and vinified traditionally. The wine was matured for one year in an oak barrel to develop maturity and outstanding smoothness. The Cuvée has then spent ten years in a bottle in ideal conditions.
