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.
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.
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!

Wave of freshness for this juice carried by notes of lime, grapefruit, pear. Highly digestible and fluid. Mussol means owl in Catalan... a juice to drink until the end of the night, perfect for nocturnal animals!

An ultra rare Banyuls (less than 200 bottles made) – this is fruity, rich and powerful. With notes of dried oranges. Balance and freshness – in other words, pure Duchêne!
Exuberant aromas of red fruits... Palate: refreshing, beautiful structure, slight tanins, it would be wise to wait until 2025 to uncork this one.
An irresistible wine, fruit driven and redolent of flowers and mahaleb (this fragrant spice obtained from cherry kernels). Palate: balance, freshness, a delicacy... A lingering finish.
