INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

The Brunier family is legendary in its own right, having been rooted to the enigmatic plateau known as La Crau for over one hundred years. Indeed, for many, La Crau is Châteauneuf-du-Pape’s grandest cru.

The grapes from the younger vines—still over twenty years old—make up Vieux Télegraphe’s second label, “Télégramme.”
