The Brunel family has been in the Chateauneuf-du-Pape region since the 17th century and has been fully committed to making wine for five generations. The first vineyard beginning was purchased from the Bishop of Avignon located in the north of the appellation. In 1971, Andr? Brunel took over the reins of the Domaine. We want to produce wines reflecting their region and origin while remaining elegant and wonderfully subtle. The Domaine boasts about 40 hectares in C?tes du Rh?ne, mostly located to the east of the city of Orange and the rest being in the Gard near Lirac. His endless motivation resulted in rapid growth for the Domaine: repurchasing of C?tes du Rh?ne and Vins de Pays vines. He also made some considerable changes in the vine management process by being one of the first people to use a ground covering method and take a non-chemical approach to wine-farming. In 2012, his son, Fabrice Brunel, joined the team so the family history can continue.
?On the nose, dominant aromas of red fruits prevail and are enhanced by a touch of wood from the barrel-contained Syrah grapes. Fresh, juicy cherry and hints of leather give way to notes of earthiness from the terroir. The tannins are harmonious and elegant and the long finish continues to impart the lovely and complex aromas of this cuv?e...a perfect blend of strength and elegance coupled with freshness and complexity.
