2020 Ventoux Rouge “Mégaphone”

Famille Brunier
Discount Eligible $28.00
SOLD OUT

If you ever want to go way off the beaten path in the southern Rhône, far from the crowds, bike tours, and buses, take a stroll to the backcountry of Ventoux. Find your way to the village of La Roque-Alric for a glimpse of the laid-back, authentic Provence of the past. From there, head toward the neighboring village of Saint-Hippolyte-le-Graveyron, where you will find the Bruniers’ “little piece of paradise,” as they call it, their small vineyard with quite the view that makes up the Mégaphone cuvée. This rouge is as fresh, herbal, colorful, and authentic as its vineyards environs.

Kermit inspecting wine barrels

For the wines that I buy I insist that the winemaker leave them whole, intact. I go into the cellars now and select specific barrels or cuvées, and I request that they be bottled without stripping them with filters or other devices. This means that many of our wines will arrive with a smudge of sediment and will throw a more important deposit as time goes by, It also means the wine will taste better.
