"Among the 8 Rhône wines you should buy first"

“An alluring, textured, and well-crafted blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre. It offers aromas of blackcurrant, dried herbs, roasted meat, mushrooms, and orange peel. Medium-bodied to full-bodied, with fine tannins. Velvety and refined on the palate. Balanced and full-bodied, with a lively, succulent, and long finish.” (James Suckling 2025).

Dominant aromas of fresh red berries in a rich, indulgent profile

Palate

Complex and elegant with notes of red berries, beautiful richness and opulence, full-bodied, with smooth and elegant tannins; the Grenache adds a lovely freshness, and more complex aromas emerge: orange peel, garrigue, and white pepper, with great length and excellent aging potential.

Wine rated (2026 guide) 94/100

Rated estate (2020 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

André Brunel’s wines consistently combine richness, refined tannins, and freshness. The white wine, which is very refined, contains a fairly significant proportion of Clairette. In the reds, Grenache dominates, with a touch of Mourvèdre. Finally, the “La Centenaire” cuvée is made from very old Grenache vines planted on the Mont-Redon plateau. The 2014 vintage is a classic expression of the style of wines from the Mont-Redon plateau, with its large, rounded pebbles. The 2015 “La Centenaire” cuvée is very successful, as is the 2016 white.

Rated Estate (2022 Guide) 2*Stars (These exceptional estates, often boasting fabulous terroirs, are must-haves that, thanks to the consistency and excellence of their wines, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers)

About the estate:

Although little known in France, André Brunel is nonetheless among the elite of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation. He produces distinguished wines whose greatest strengths are their minerality and refinement. The entire range is consistently excellent. The classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape is a quiet force, full of finesse and nuance. In great vintages, the estate produces a small quantity of a magnificent cuvée from vines planted in 1889 on the Farguerol plateau, named Cuvée Centenaire, which was first released in 1989. It quickly achieved worldwide success, which was well deserved. André Brunel still possesses a few rare and magnificent old bottles—from 1947 and 1967, or, more recently, from 1978—that demonstrate undeniable expertise, which is reflected in the quality of today’s wines.
