2017 Gigondas Rosé “Au Petit Bonheur”

Les Pallières
Discount Eligible $25.00
SOLD OUT

A word from Daniel Brunier about the “little joy” of a rosé he makes with Kermit:

‘When we decided to create a rosé at Pallières, we had never done it before. One thing was certain: we did not want to make something that resembled all the other rosés: too technical, lacking soul and personality. The idea was to simply create a rosé we liked, avoiding certain pitfalls one encounters with “professional” rosés. . . . We had to go against the current without knowing where that would lead us. . . . “Au petit bonheur la chance,” as we say in France [meaning, “We’ll see where luck takes us”]. That’s the name we gave our “experiment,” and for those who don’t understand the significance, it’s beautiful nonetheless!’

Inspiring Thirst

A good doctor prescribed the wine of Nuits-Saint-Georges to the Sun King, Louis XIV, when he suffered an unknown maladie. When the king’s health was restored the tasty remedy enjoyed a vogue at court. Lord, send me a doctor like that!
