'Top-of-the-range Chateauneuf-du-Pape from the Rhone valley. A good match for the flavours of Christmas Day.' - Will Lyons, The Sunday Times Magazine, December 2017
The Domaine takes its name from a tower built in 1793 by Claude Chappe (the inventor of the optical telegraph system) on the plateau near Bédarrides. The Domaine, owned by the Brunier family, consists of Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre and old Clairette vines planted in a small area named La Crau. The Bruniers produce very refined, beautifully measured Chateauneuf du Pape, the result of a harmonious marriage of traditional and modern techniques.
