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.

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."
