2016 Vin de Pays de Vaucluse “Le Pigeoulet” Rouge

Famille Brunier
Discount Eligible $19.00
SOLD OUT

I’m not sure how the Bruniers produce Grenache with simultaneous pleasure, depth, power, finesse, and drinkability, but Pigeoulet is a great case in point. You will not find a better pound-for-pound value anywhere in southern France. The Brunier hallmarks of restraint, class, and typicity are all here in spades. In that way, their wines remind me of de Villaine’s wines in Burgundy.
