Le Pigeoulet Rouge, Vin De Pays De Vaucluse - 2005 - Domaine de la Roquette
Ref: A055005
A mini 'Châteauneuf-du-Pape' with a great concentration of flavours from the superb 2005 vintage.

When the Brunier family bought Domaine de la Roquette in 1986, no one really realised the potential of this extraordinary 40-hectare estate. The domaine is made up from a number of fragmented parcels of very old vines (average age 45 years-old), situated in three distinctive zones on the rocky plateau to the north of the town of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Our long-standing partnership with Daniel and Frédéric Brunier has proved extremely fruitful as this is an estate that has leap-frogged into the top division in the past five years or so.

As well as making exceptional Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Daniel Brunier also makes an impressive Vin de Pays de Vaucluse called Le Pigeoulet Rouge which continues to win many new friends. The grapes are sourced from young parcels of vines within the southern part of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation and also from 17½ acres of newly acquired vines situated on the slopes of Mont Ventoux.

The grape mix is 80% Grenache, 10% Cabernet-Sauvignon 5% Syrahand 5% Cinsault and the vines have an average age of 20 years.

The resulting wine is full bodied and chunky with a gamey nose and a long wholesome fruit in the mouth. It has incredibly good length with a fine, spicy punch on the finish.
