An everyday southern Rhône red from the legendary Brunier family, the 2022 Le Pigeoulet is pure, juicy, and unmistakably Provençal—offering serious pedigree in a refreshingly casual frame.
Taste
Fresh and inviting, this blend bursts with ripe red cherry, raspberry, and plum, backed by soft notes of lavender, black pepper, and garrigue. The palate is smooth and medium-bodied, with vibrant acidity and fine tannins that make it endlessly drinkable. Hints of licorice and dusty earth linger on the finish.
About the Winery/Winemaker
Famille Brunier, best known for their iconic Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, brings the same care and tradition to Le Pigeoulet—a wine designed for everyday enjoyment. Sourced from younger vines and plots outside the Châteauneuf AOC, this cuvée showcases the Brunier style in a lighter, more approachable format, while still rooted in organic farming and traditional Rhône winemaking.
Why We Love It
Le Pigeoulet is the kind of red we always want on hand—affordable, reliable, and effortlessly food-friendly. It’s a gateway to the Brunier family’s signature style and southern Rhône terroir, perfect for casual dinners, picnics, or just sipping with friends.
