2024 Ventoux Rouge “Mégaphone”

Famille Brunier
Discount Eligible $29.00
AT CART MAX

I struggle to think of another wine that makes me taste the sun beaming down on the south of France more than this one. Inky and deep, with notes of black licorice, garrigue, and a whisper of tapenade, Mégaphone is a Grenache blend that could only come from one place. And yet, for its color and concentration, it is vibrant and refreshing—an absolute joy to drink—too. Mégaphone communicates a lot of the same messages as Gaël Petit’s Tavel, but via a completely different messenger.

Sampling wine out of the barrel.

When buying red Burgundy, I think we should remember:

1. Big wines do not age better than light wine.
2. A so-called great vintage at the outset does not guarantee a great vintage for the duration.
3. A so-called off vintage at the outset does not mean the wines do not have a brilliant future ahead of them.
4. Red Burgundy should not taste like Guigal Côte-Rôtie, even if most wine writers wish it would.
5. Don’t follow leaders; watch yer parking meters.
