| Chateau/Producer: | Le Pigeoulet En Provence | | Wine Name: | Vin de Pays de Vaucluse | | Country: | France | | State: | Provence | | AOC: | Vin de pays | | Region: | Northern provence | | Wine Score: | 91 | | Notes: | Although this is technically a Provencial vin de pays, it is from the area where the Rhone region meets Provence, and it has all the characteristics of a very nice Rhone blend. Its color is a very dark, beety red. The nose is great, with a medium strength, but fruity and rich. The flavor is like a very pleasant Cotes du Rhone, with nice fruits, raspberries and plums, some noticeable tannins, a bit of an acidic bite but not too much. This has a great value/price ratio. It went very, very well with the lamb at dinner. | | Tasting Date: | 2006-02-11 | | Varietal: | Grenache, Cabernet sauvignon, Syrah | | Production Notes: | This wine is made by the Brunier family, whose flagship wine is the excellent Vieux-Telegraphe Chateauneuf-du-Pape. The name "Le Pigoulet" is Provencal for "little one." | | Price US$: | 9.99 | | Source: | Village Wine Market, Birmingham |
