Domaine Brun-Avril is a family estate with deep roots in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, founded by Jean-Jacques and Nathalie Brun in 2008. Their approach focuses on traditional winemaking and organic farming, with a commitment to preserving their land for future generations.

  • WINEMAKER: Jean-Jacques and Nathalie Brun, with their son Henri joining in 2020.
  • FARMING: Organic practices (in conversion since 2021), ensuring sustainable viticulture.
  • VARIETY: 80% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre, 10% Syrah.
  • TERROIR: Vines planted on clay-sand soils covered with large pebbles, located in the northern part of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with some vines over 100 years old.
  • VINIFICATION: Grapes are partially destemmed, fermented in oak vats, with a long maceration period of about 4 weeks. Aged for 18 months in large oak barrels (demi-muids) and tronconic vats, with minimal use of new oak.
  • TASTING NOTES: Full-bodied and rich, with flavors of dark berries, plum, spice, and subtle earthy undertones. Well-integrated tannins and a long, elegant finish.
