The Avril family has been in Châteauneuf since the fourteenth century (15 generations and counting). Domaine Brun-Avril, however, was established in 2008 by husband & wife team, Nathalie and Jean-Jacques Brun. Their 5 hectares were part of an inheritance, one that changed the course of their lives. After deciding that they wanted to preserve the family's holdings, they studied viticulture. Since then they’ve expanded their holdings considerably and in 2020, their son Henri joined the domaine.  

Despite being new winemakers, their style is decidedly old school. They only produce one red and more recently, one white per vintage and do everything and nothing to let the wine speak for itself. 

Lovely freshness and lift to this wine. Quite low in very fine tannins though makes up for it with glycerol. The acidity is quite marked, but it's integrated, and works well with the acidulated red berry fruit. Precise and sprightly for a Châteauneuf. From Lieu-dit Farguerol, mostly fermented and aged in foudre, except for 10% new barrique. - Matt Walls
