Ratings & Reviews
Wine Spectator (2011 Vintage):
"Cherry paste and Campari notes are backed by hints of anise and tobacco. Fleshy, with a fresh finish. Drink now. 900 cases imported." – JM (Nov 30, 2013)
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2011 Vintage):
"Not quite up to the 2010 but certainly in the same ballpark, the 2011 Domaine Andre Brunel Grenache Vin de Pays de Vaucluse has loads of charm with perfumed black raspberry, fennel, wild herbs and a touch of tobacco all showing on the nose. Upfront, perfumed, and sweetly fruited, with low acidity and a soft, medium-bodied texture, this excellent value will be a crowd pleaser over the coming couple of years." - Jeb Dunnuck (Dec 2013)
