GUIDE BETTANE ET DESSEAUVE 2015 – 15.5
[…]la famille Brunier ne privilégie pas la puissance malgré la générosité en alcool mais au contraire l\\\’équilibre et la buvabilité. Pour cela on joue sur l\\\’encépagement complexe et l\\\’on ne recherche pas forcément le raisin en surmaturité ! […]
GUIDE RVF 2015 – 16
Se montre plus chaleureux (que Piedlong 2012) dans ses parfums et offre davantage de relief.
INTERNATIONAL WINE CELLAR – #172 – JAN/FEB 2014 – JOSH REYNOLDS
Deep red. Vibrant red berry, lavender and mineral aromas, with a subtle garrigue quality building in the glass. Bright, racy and pure, offering fresh raspberry and bitter cherry flavors that put on weight with air. Sweeter and fuller on the finish, which features soft tannins and a late kick of white pepper. Distinctly elegant Chateauneuf with no excess weight; in fact, there\’s something pinot-like going on here. 91-93
WINE ADVOCATE – #209 – 31 OCT 2013 – JEB DUNNUCK
Moving to the Chateauneufs and the Brunier\’s entry level offering (a second wine, if you will, and includes grapes from Vieux Telegraphe and La Roquete), the 2012 Telegramme is fruity and up-front, with medium-bodied richness and depth, excellent aromatics and an easy-drinking feel. It will be a delicious drinker to consume over the coming 5-6 years. Drink now-2020. (87-89 pts)
