    The Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe vineyard stretches across diverse terroirs, combining clay and limestone. These mineral-rich soils promote deep, robust roots, allowing the vines to flourish. The Mediterranean climate, with its hot, dry summers and mild winters, contributes to the optimal ripening of the grapes. The vines, averaging 30 years old, benefit from ideal sun exposure, resulting in grapes concentrated in aromas and flavors. This exceptional terroir reflects the history and passion of Vignobles Brunier.

    Vinification and aging

    The vinification of the 2018 Pigeoulet Rouge is carried out with meticulous care. The carefully selected grapes are destemmed before being fermented in stainless steel tanks. This method preserves the freshness and purity of the aromas. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, allowing for a delicate extraction of tannins. After fermentation, the wine is aged in tanks, promoting a harmonious integration of flavors. This process highlights the typicity of the grape varieties while respecting the identity of the terroir. The result is a balanced wine, ready to be enjoyed now, but which can also improve with age.
