Megaphone Ventoux 2022 Famille Brunier

Bottled at the Brunier's famous Vieux Telegraphe winery, their AOC Ventoux 'Megaphone' is an exuberant and unapologetic expression of this fabulous terroir. In their words:

"We believe that Ventoux wines should be full of character, exuding the sunshine and herby garrigue, but also reflect the mountain range that cools the local air. Megaphone, a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah, is a very good compromise between seriousness and pleasure, fruit and minerality, garrigue and freshness."
