Vignobles Brunier "Le Pigeoulet des Brunier" red 2022:

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2025 (August 2024): 88/100. Still juicy, it evolves from a floral and infused profile to a more powerful register: it is no longer the digestible "everyday" wine we once knew.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Yoann Castaing, Oct. 2024): 89/100. Crafted primarily from Grenache, the 2022 Pigeoulet Vaucluse offers a gourmand, fresh bouquet of dark cherries, garrigue, and wild dark berries. Moderately weighted and with a lovely juiciness, it's both balanced and elegant, featuring bright acidity and a long, mouthwatering finish. The grapes are sourced 80% from the Ventoux region, with the remaining 20% coming from alluvial soils in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. DRINK DATE 2024-2028.
