Until the 1996 vintage, Claude Courthil sold all of his wine to negociants, which is ironic because 100 years earlier his grandfather was one of the first winemakers in Chateauneuf-du -Pape to bottle his own wine. Clos du Brusquières vinifies its grapes in cement tanks without de-stemming, ages in neutral oak and bottles their wines unfiltered. Ultra-traditional.
