About this product
Les Pallières's old-vine Gigondas, from limestone-clay terraces in the Dentelles de Montmirail, fermented with whole clusters and aged in large foudres. The wine displays the Brunier house style: precise, mineral, and restrained, with dark cherry, garrigue, and limestone mineral in a long-lived framework.

complement
Gigondas's dark fruit and mineral precision find their most luxurious expression with pigeon and truffle; celeriac adds the earthy counterpoint while the wine's precision prevents the preparation from becoming too rich.

complement
The wine's restrained power and olive-mineral character can bridge the gap to tuna's meaty richness; tapenade creates a direct flavour connection while roasted tomatoes add Mediterranean sweetness.
