87-89. Mostly Grenache but with some Syrah, Carignan, and Cinsault, the 2022 Vaucluse Le Pigeoulet has a ripe, supple, delicious style in its black raspberry and assorted cherry-like fruit, and it’s medium-bodied, balanced, has fine tannins, and a good finish. It’s a perfect house red to drink over the coming 4-5 years.
