Vignobles Brunier Megaphone Rouge 2017 | Cotes du Ventoux

French wines can be tricky. Origin, grapes, terrain, and year make huge difference with so many options.

We wanted to bring a well-priced French wine, with an outstanding taste to be paired with our meats. Megaphone was it!

At 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah, we were expecting something different but.. it was AMAZING!

James Suckling gave 93 points to this wine.
