2023 Vin de Pays de Vaucluse Blanc “Le Pigeoulet”
Famille Brunier
Yet another delectable wine from the Brunier family! This versatile white works well with summer fare: grilled fish, roast chicken, or grilled vegetables. It feels right at home with Mediterranean herbs and the ripe tomatoes now arriving at the farmers’ market.
The blend is equal parts Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, and Clairette. Together, they create a wine that has a complex mouth-feel that finishes with a nice refreshing acidity.
This beauty gets snapped up quickly, so order some before it is gone!

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.
