Bruno Duchêne
Bruno Duchêne, yet another kid from the northern France who headed south for the sunshine of Roussillon. Settling here in 2002 in a middle of a vineyard of vines that were clearly exceptional, but also impossible to work – at least with tractor. A vigneron in the right place at the right time, the vines he acquired were lovely terraced parcels, unsuitable for mechanised farming due to their vertiginous slopes. On his eponymous 4-ha estate, Bruno is particularly fond of his Grenache Noir grapes, cultivated on slate soils. Whatever playfulness and whimsy Bruno has in him he puts into his colourful labels. Bruno tends to his vines as naturally as possible, which is to be expected, he’s a graduate of the school of Burgundy’s organic icon Fred Cossard! We salute this impassioned vigneron for his smile and kindness, and his wines so refined and full of freshness.
With notes of white peach, citrus, orange peel, quince, honey, amaretto, and a subtle vegetal hint... A perfectly balanced white wine; on the palate, it is smooth with plenty of freshness, lovely mineral tension, and subtle, refined bitterness, leading to a saline finish.
An ultra rare Banyuls (only 250 bottles made) – this is fruity, rich and powerful. With notes of dried oranges. Balance and freshness – in other words, pure Duchêne!
A deep, smooth, round and fruity wine... Palate: each grape variety adds its own brick to the edifice: fruit falvours and power for the Grenache and lightness and balance for the Fer Servadou... The result is a very smooth and supple wine.
Exuberant red fruit on the nose… Palate-wise, it’s all about freshness: a nice line, fine tannins and an aromatic profile that stays precise, with a fresh, gently tangy finish. The balance was a bit fragile just after bottling, but it’s now perfectly settled and ready to drink.
Light pink in color, this sparkling wine boasts with notes of currant, raspberry, blood orange... The palate combines freshness and length, the sparkling is definitely here, with a finish on a hint of mint.
A natural, fruity wine, distinguished by its freshness, balance, notes of red fruits and spices. A luscious palate already, supple and highly digestible, a rosé crafted for gastronomy.
A sweet passerillé wine. Bruno named the wine after his son, Tomeu, and it has enough sweetness to compete with children’s fruit juice! Palate: a rich, sweet wine with considerable freshness, revealing vibrant fruit and exceptional length.
Very fine, delicate bubbles—“You wouldn’t think this was a ‘pét-nat’,” says Bruno! Notes of white fruit, peach, Greek yogurt topped with honey, chalk, and a mineral backbone… Beautiful volume on the palate; the wine is very fresh and easy to drink—a perfect choice for an aperitif!
