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.
On notes of white peach, citrus, bitter almond, a touch of aniseed. Lots of pleasure in this bottle, smooth mouthfeel, beautiful length.
Only available in a Magnum, this is a very rare bottle indeed. A profound wine, smooth, round and fruity. A palate that’s out of this world, with extraordinary texture, silky tannins and a saline finish.
An immersive ‘Vin Doux Naturel’ (or ‘natural sweet wine’), with notes of dried fruits, blueberry jam, chocolate… Silky palate, generous without any heaviness, exceptional length. Laurie, one of Bruno's grape picker, fell in the well of the parcel, therefore gave her name to this cuvée!
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.
A natural, dry wine, distinguished by its freshness and balance, with notes of spice, a luscious palate, and elegant tannins.
A natural, dry wine, distinguished by its freshness and balance, with notes of melon and nectarine. Palate: this is powerful juice, with lovely balance... A truly beautiful cuvée, that we love discovering every vintage since it shows the potential of Grenache Blanc!

A natural and dry wine, defined by its freshness and balance. Odin is the name of Bruno's boat... So, shall we raise the anchor in Collioure?

Exuberant aromas of red fruits... Palate: refreshing, beautiful structure, slight tanins, it would be wise to wait until 2025 to uncork this one.
A little treasure in the bottle, a highly aromatic wine, very concentrated, powerful, gourmand and above all delicious, with notes of caramel, hazelnut, candied apricot, old rum, honey... Palate: sweet and smooth but without heaviness, exceptional length.
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.
An irresistible and rare bottle, with notes of dark fruits, flowers, and soft spices. On the palate: a delicate treat—round, deep, and easy-drinking, with silky tannins and a lingering finish.
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.
