2023 Ventoux Rouge “Mégaphone”

Famille Brunier
Discount Eligible $29.00
AT CART MAX

ATTENTION, PLEASE! Daniel and Frédéric Brunier are celebrities in the southern Rhône. Their all-star lineup of reds can attest: they are responsible for Vieux Télégraphe’s grand Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the mighty Gigondas of Les Pallières, and the deliciously approachable, everyday Pigeoulet. Mégaphone rounds out this standout cast, representing an effort to highlight a terroir on the slopes of the Dentelles de Montmirail, previously used in the Pigeoulet blend. The decision certainly paid off. Mégaphone remains imminently accessible while showing the character of a more prestigious red. This blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah announces itself loud and clear on the palate, with amplified flavors that are sure to reach a wide audience. Sweet cherries, réglisse, garrigue, and dusty earth abound in this incredibly fresh and smooth red, with no screechy or gritty tannins.

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.
