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

I want you to realize once and for all: Even the winemaker does not know what aging is going to do to a new vintage; Robert Parker does not know; I do not know. We all make educated (hopefully) guesses about what the future will bring, but guesses they are. And one of the pleasures of a wine cellar is the opportunity it provides for you to witness the evolution of your various selections. Living wines have ups and downs just as people do, periods of glory and dog days, too. If wine did not remind me of real life, I would not care about it so much.
