Merchant's description
Mounir and Rotem Saouma, best known for their Burgundy négociant house Lucien Le Moine, have always had profound love for the Grenache variety and of the Châteauneuf-du-Pape appellation, and have slowly managed to acquire 21 acres of exceptional quality vines across all its 5 villages. `La Bigote` is a powerful Southern Rhône red blend that would be a good match for lamb and game dishes.
