2018 Vin de Pays de Vaucluse “Le Pigeoulet” Rouge
Famille BrunierPigeoulet is everything its oddly melodious name implies: exuberant, approachable, fun. At table, it is versatile and generous, with abundant aromas of blackberries, herbs, and licorice that can complement a wide range of epicurean delights. The life of the party at any cookout, picnic, or potluck.

About The Producer
Famille Brunier
Vignobles Brunier embodies the ensemble of the holdings by the Brunier family. Brothers Frédéric and Daniel are the fourth generation of their family to farm the land of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. They have worked hard to solidify the legacy left by their father, Henri, and their great-grandfather, Hippolyte. In 1986, the family complemented their portfolio, offering more affordable cuvées that showcase the diversity of terroirs within their holdings. The “Pigeoulet” and “Mégaphone” are fresh, rich in fruit and easy to appreciate young. The red Châteauneuf “Piedlong”, sourced from the Piélong lieu-dit, is a profoundly mineral wine that balances elegance and purity with the muscle that is found in this great appellation.
