Description
As well as producing the famous Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe, the Bruniers also produce a couple of superb wines from more minor appellations – “our everyday house wines!” quips Daniel Brunier. Some house wine!!
On a visit to the vineyard during the Châteauneuf-du-Pape harvest, I remember the pickers were taking a well deserved lunch break in a building next to the winery. Suddenly a huge cheer went up, and cries of ‘Pigeoulet’ came from the pickers. Daniel Brunier quickly explained that along with lunch – the workers are treated to a glass or two of Pigeoulet.
Fresh, fruity rich and elegant with aromas of liquorice, black fruits and herbs.
