Producer Notes
This domaine was purchased by the Brunier family in 1998, with 1999 being the first vintage of which the Brunier family had complete control of both the viticulture and vinification process. One of the most traditional and well-situated domaines in Gigondas, it was the first domaine in the appellation to bottle its wine on the estate. The vineyards form an amphitheatre around the winery, mainly built into single row terraces, to cope with the very steep slopes. The soil, which is partly covered by limestone rock, slides from the hill range called “Les Dentelles de Montmirail”
