Andre Brunel Domaine de la Becassonne Cotes du Rhone Blanc 2022 750 ML

The Brunel familys winemaking history reaches back to the 17th century with the purchase of a vineyard plot to the north of the Chteauneuf-du-Pape appellation from the Bishop of Avignon.Numerous generations followed, all working in the vineyards, but it was in 1954 that Lucien Brunel created the name Les Cailloux or The Pebbles to promote the Domaines wine qualities and special geological characteristic of the large oval stones coving his vineyards.
In 1971, Luciens son Andr Brunel took the reins at Domaine les Cailloux. His endless motivation and eye for quality resulted in a steady expansion of the familys vineyards with acquisitions in the Ctes du Rhne and select plots of Vaucluse Vins de Pays. In 1989 he launched the now infamous Cuve Centenaire and continued to improve the vineyard management practices. Andr was one of the first in Chteauneuf-du-Pape to use tailored ground cover methods and practice a non-chemical approach to wine-farming.
In 2012, Andrs son, Fabrice Brunel, joined the team to ensure the familys history and passion would continue. Our pursuit for quality, our utmost respect for the land, and the drive to always provide our customers with wines they can enjoy throughout their lives, compels us to be immeasurably meticulous during its production, regardless of its appellation.
