What’s a good wine to sip on breaks while clearing out the garage on a crisp Fall day in Houston? This one...starts off pretty tight but just opens up into expressive #chateauneufdupape - Grenache-baseline cherry, whispering #garrigue herbal notes. It will be a challenge to keep this for at least 5 years to see how it develops. #wsjwineclub — 5 years ago
The esteemed #chateauneufdupape Brunier family's dedication to #terroir shines in this everyday cuvée from CdP's eastern neighbor Ventoux. Classically southern #rhone dark juicy fruit, #garrigue & fine tannins make for an ideal warming winter #quaffer. — 10 years ago

A classic Provençal table wine, it has all the rusticity and #garrigue (wine speak for a region's native vegetation, in this case lavender, olive leaf and juniper) characteristic of the region, plus the bright red-fruited juiciness of Grenache, roundness of Syrah, sweet spice of Cabernet Sauvignon and animal touch of Carignan. — 10 years ago

Compared to the last bottle I tried last year of the same vintage, this time noticing more cocoa, laid back currant fruit and subtle #garrigue spice on this #ventoux . — 5 years ago
