Vignobles Brunier
This classic Châteauneuf estate was bought by the Brunier family of Vieux Télégraphe in 1986 and investments in the winery and vineyard soon followed. The result is over 30 hectares of top Châteauneuf terroir with vines approaching full maturity, vinified in a modern winery.
Fresh, fruity rich and elegant with aromas of liquorice, black fruits and herbs.
This wine is a great accompaniment to Beef stews, Coq au vin annd Mature cheeses.
The grapes are picked by hand and fully destemmed. 50% of the wine underwent its malolactic fermentation in large oak foudres with the remainder in stainless steel tank. The final blend was then aged for a further six months in foudres.
Joanna Simon, Wine of the Week, September 2024: “I could argue the case for this being a summer, winter, spring or autumn wine. It’s just one of those red wines that seems to suit all seasons. It’s appealingly full and generous in style, but not remotely hefty, and brings waves of elegant energy and freshness to rich cherry and blackberry fruit and notes of spices, herbs, liquorice, black tapenade and chocolate.”
