Domaine Brusset
This 85-hectare estate in the heart of the Southern Rhône was founded by André Brusset in 1947 and includes vineyards in Cairanne, Gigondas and Côtes du Ventoux. The domaine is now run by grandson Laurent, who focuses on excellent-quality fruit, vinified in a traditional manner, with a small proportion undergoing whole bunch fermentation in order to retain the fruit of the grapes. The wines strongly evoke a ‘sense-of-place’, with nuances of sun-baked rocks and aromatic herbs beneath the peppery fruit.
