Today, Domaine André Brunel, more renowned internationally than in France, is a pillar of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape elite. Domaine Les Cailloux spans three distinct appellations: the main one, of course, is Châteauneuf-du-Pape, with 21 hectares of terroirs ranging from galets roulés to sables and clays. Then there’s Côtes du Rhône, with 40 hectares of vines planted on alluvial soils dominated by sandy-clay, and finally, Vin de Pays de Vaucluse, with 30 hectares of vines planted on river alluvial soils. The estate’s grape varieties are Grenache, Mourvèdre, Syrah and Cinsault for red wines, while Roussanne, Grenache blanc and Clairette are used for white wines.
Since 2012, Fabrice Brunel, André Brunel’s son, has joined the ranks of Domaine Les Cailloux, bringing a new dimension to this passionate lineage.
