Bruno Duchene 2023 Grenache: A Story of Passion & Terroir from Languedoc-Roussillon

Origin & Craftsmanship
Sourced from France’s sun-drenched Languedoc-Roussillon region, this 2023 Grenache by Bruno Duchene is a testament to artisanal winemaking. Bruno, a former wild mushroom trader who retired early to Banyuls, traded his car phone for a life of crafting exceptional dry reds. His vineyards, nestled in some of France’s most challenging terrains, yield grapes with intense character and minerality—a rarity in modern winemaking.

Flavor Profile & Pairing
With a modest 11.7% ABV, this Grenache balances elegance and approachability. Expect vibrant notes of ripe red berries, subtle herbal undertones, and a smooth, lingering finish. Its light body makes it perfect for casual sipping or pairing with hearty Mediterranean dishes, grilled vegetables, or soft cheeses. Unlike heavier reds, it’s refreshingly versatile for year-round enjoyment.

Why Choose Bruno Duchene?
– Unique Backstory: A winemaker who lives aboard his boat, Odin, Bruno’s unconventional lifestyle mirrors his bold approach to viticulture.
– Terroir-Driven: Grapes are hand-harvested from steep, stony slopes, ensuring low yields and concentrated flavors.
– Sustainable Practices: Bruno prioritizes organic farming, respecting the land’s natural rhythm.
