DOMAINE BRUSSET

RHÔNE VALLEY, FRANCE 2022


 

Excellence in the glass, lightness on the wallet: that's what you get with Domaine Brusset.

 

And that’s why, not long after we secure an allocation of Brusset, bottles are already on their way out the door.  Take our last offer, which sold out in a matter of days. So don’t delay in securing your order!

 

Their Les Secrets de Montmirail 2022 is as good an example as any of the power of their Gigondas. Jeb Dunnuck awarded it a potential 96 points (a "concentrated, pure, layered Gigondas with ample tannins, good overall balance, and serious minerality on the finish"), and we're proud to be able to offer it for a relative song, at just under $64 a bottle! 

 

Or their 94+-point Gigondas Les Hauts de Montmirail 2022 Gigondas Tradition Le Grand Montmirail 2020 (Dunnuck hailed it for its "incredible purity and elegance,”) which we're offering at just under $40 a bottle!

 

The aforementioned wines hail from the Dentelles de Montmirail, a region universally regarded as having some of the most prestigious vineyards in all of Rhône. What the terroir of Montmirail brings is a nervy edge that adds life to these dense and brawny wines and – just as important – enables them to age far beyond that of a village-level Gigondas.

 

Terroir alone has not lifted this star of Southern Rhône to cult status among connoisseurs and collectors. For that, we have to focus on a pair of qualities that are sometimes harder to see.

 

Brusset was among the first estates in the region to age its best wines in small barrels, and in the years since it has only refined its maturation process. Balance is the watchword. Fruit and wood complement one another, with neither fighting for the upper hand. The other characteristic that doesn't show up in the glass is continuity. Founded by Andre Brusset in 1947, later handed down to son Daniel, and now in the expert hands of grandson Laurent, this is an estate whose mission has hardly changed over more than three quarters of a century.

 

We admire Brusset’s enduring attention to detail, and that's one reason we’ve reached deep into their portfolio to bring you five more gems – all from their 2022 vintage, and all at phenomenal prices: their Gigondas Tradition Le Grand Montmirail 2022; their Cairanne Vielles Vignes 2022; their Rasteau la Bastide 2022; their Cairanne Travers Rouge 2022; and their Cairanne Travers Blanc 2022.

 

Folks, this is the perfect time to buy by the case and stock your cellar

 

And take note: we always buy and source directly from the estate, so rest assured – your wines will arrive in your hands with pristine provenance.
