Presentation
Presentation
Across the 40,000 hectares hosting the 23 Languedoc AOC’s and 19 IGP’s, no wine resembles another, the only consistency being the Mediterranean, ever since ancient times, influencing climate and growth: mild winters, hot and dry Indian summers, scents from the scrubland and the winds carrying the sea spray. And because most of Bruno’s selected vineyards are located in-between the Pyrenees to the South and the Black Mountains to the North, they enjoy a privileged climatic position where the excesses of the Mediterranean climate are tempered by the softness of the Atlantic influences.

Tasting
Shows lifted notes of elderflower, green lime zest, and boxwood. The palate is ripe, offering zesty ripe citrus flavors coupled with an edge of flinty minerality and asparagus keeping things framed and focused. Sur-lies aging gives balancing flesh and creaminess to the wine’s crisp refreshing acidity.
Food pairings
