The 2022 Frédéric & Daniel Brunier Mégaphone Ventoux Rouge is a vibrant Southern Rhône red from the Ventoux appellation, crafted by the renowned Brunier family of Vieux Télégraphe. Sourced from vineyards on the slopes of the Dentelles de Montmirail, this blend of predominantly Grenache with Syrah offers a fresh and approachable expression of Rhône winemaking while retaining impressive depth and regional character.
On the palate, it is smooth and beautifully balanced, with flavours of red cherry, blackberry and ripe plum layered with notes of garrigue, black pepper, liquorice and Mediterranean herbs. Fine tannins provide gentle structure, while fresh acidity keeps the wine lively and energetic. The finish is long and savoury, carrying bright red fruit and subtle spice with excellent persistence.
Ben’s Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic Rhône red for customers looking for a wine that combines fruit generosity with freshness and drinkability. The Brunier family’s expertise shines through in a wine that is approachable now yet offers more complexity than many wines at this level. Best enjoyed over the next 3–5 years. Pair with roast lamb, grilled duck, barbecued meats, Mediterranean vegetable dishes or a classic lamb couscous.
