2024 Ventoux Rouge “Mégaphone”
Famille Brunier
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.

About The Producer
Famille Brunier
Vignobles Brunier embodies the ensemble of the holdings by the Brunier family. Brothers Frédéric and Daniel are the fourth generation of their family to farm the land of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They have worked hard to solidify the legacy left by their father, Henri, and their great-grandfather, Hippolyte. In 1986, the family complemented their portfolio, offering more affordable cuvées that showcase the diversity of terroirs within their holdings. The “Pigeoulet” and “Mégaphone” are fresh, rich in fruit and easy to appreciate young. The red Châteauneuf “Piedlong”, sourced from the Piélong lieu-dit, is a profoundly mineral wine that balances elegance and purity with the muscle that is found in this great appellation.
