Description

Perfumed and silky rather than heavy, with wild strawberry, raspberry, rose petal and a peppery, herbal lift, then fine tannins and real length. Old-vine Grenache from the Piedlong plateau, the highest point in the appellation, with around 10 per cent Mourvedre grown on the sandy soils at Pignan. A generous proportion of whole bunches goes into the ferment and the wine is raised largely in concrete and older wood, so the oak stays well in the background.

Brunier

It was Henri Brunier who gave birth to this beautiful family story in 1891. A few generations later, at the very beginning of the 80s, Frédéric and Daniel took over the destiny of the family business in tandem. In 2015 and 2016, Nicolas, son of Frédéric and Edouard, son of Daniel, entered the history of the Old Telegraph, fully integrating the company in key positions. Manon, daughter of Frédéric, joined them in 2018.

Provence

Provence, located in southeastern France, is celebrated for its picturesque landscapes and exceptional wines, particularly rosés. The Mediterranean climate, with hot summers and mild winters, is ideal for viticulture. Provence rosés, made from grape varieties such as Grenache, Cinsault, and Mourvèdre, are renowned for their pale colour, crisp acidity, and delicate flavours of red berries and citrus. The area also produces robust reds and aromatic whites. Provence’s diverse terroir, combined with traditional winemaking techniques, results in wines that reflect the beauty and richness of the region. It is a must-visit for wine enthusiasts seeking elegant and refreshing wines.
