Besides Domaine
la Roquète Vignobles Brunier also owns Domaine
Les Pallières in Gigondas and Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe in
Bedarrides.
In 1986 Domaine la Roquette (name changed in 2003),
was for sale as the owner, René Laugier had no heirs to take over.
Henri Brunier bought the property and handed it over to his sons,
Daniel and Frédéric Brunier.
The first vintage bottled at the domain was 1986. At
that time the vineyard needed some care, and the cellars needed
renovation to be suitable for making wine from nearly 40 hectares.
The domain covers 29 ha. of Chateauneuf du Pape and 10
ha. of IGT vineyards.
