Vinification

The maceration lasts between 20 and 30 days. Rack-and-return and punching of the cap are carried out daily during the alcohol fermentation and fermentation temperatures are controlled at around 28°C. The devatting is decided upon after tasting. The cuvées age in vats and are bottled without any fining or filtering.

Estate

The Brunel family’s winemaking history reaches back to the 17th century with the purchase of a vineyard plot to the north of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation from the Bishop of Avignon. Numerous generations followed, all working in the vineyards, but it was in 1954 that Lucien Brunel created the name "Les Cailloux" or "The Pebbles" to promote the Domaine’s wine qualities and special geological characteristic of the large oval stones covering his vineyards.
