The winery produces a range of ultra-premium bottlings including six expressions each of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, as well as a small amount of Syrah.

•Quintessential Wines has been appointed as the exclusive U.S. importer of the Rhone Valley’s Domaine Andre Brunel. The domaine has over 200 acres of land under vine in Chateauneuf du Pape, Cotes du Rhone and Vin d’Pays, and markets 12 different labels, with approximately 80,000 cases produced annually. Next year, Brunel will open a new state-of-the-art winery to handle production alongside its existing winery. Quintessential will bring a range of Andre Brunel wines to the U.S., with retail prices ranging from $12 to $250 a bottle.
