The 2023 Frédéric & Daniel Brunier Le Pigeoulet des Brunier is a vibrant and approachable Southern Rhône red that delivers classic Rhône character with freshness, spice and immediate drinkability. Crafted primarily from Grenache with Syrah, Carignan, Cinsault and Mourvèdre, it opens with expressive aromas of black cherry, raspberry and brambly fruit, layered with notes of garrigue herbs, pepper, earth and subtle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with supple tannins, juicy dark berry fruit and lively acidity, creating a smooth, energetic and highly food-friendly style. Savoury herbs and gentle spice carry through to a polished, refreshing finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is one of the best-value Rhône blends for customers who enjoy soft, juicy reds with spice and versatility rather than heavy, extracted styles. Made by the renowned Brunier family of Vieux Télégraphe, it offers authentic Southern Rhône charm with immediate appeal and easy drinkability. Drink now or over the next 3–5 years. Perfect with BBQ, pizza, grilled meats, roast lamb or casual Mediterranean dining.
