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. This extraordinary mixture - where the days are sunny and warm, where the wind blows almost continuously and where the nights are cool, produces amazing wines.

Tasting
Earthy aromas and a twinge of fruity sweetness and dried spices on the nose. Concentrated aromas of blackberry, cherry and mashed fig abound, while flavors of black plum skins dominate the palate and coat the mouth with a firm and smooth texture. Charming, juicy and straightforward.
Food pairings
A pizza that is not too spicy; a few grilled eggplants or zucchini and of course a plate of cold meats with a preference for salted meats that are not too peppery.
