Gérard Bru's white wines at Puech-Haut receive the same meticulous attention as his acclaimed reds. This Prestige Blanc blends Roussanne, Marsanne and Viognier, typical Rhône varieties that thrive in the Languedoc warmth. Partial barrel fermentation and lees aging add texture and complexity while preserving the fruit's natural freshness. The 2023 vintage captures vibrant aromatics with good weight.
White peach, apricot and honeysuckle with subtle oak spice and a mineral edge. Medium to full bodied with creamy texture balanced by bright acidity. There's richness here but it's not heavy or oaky, showing restraint and balance. Layers of stone fruit, citrus zest and almond notes. Long, textured finish.
Serve cool (10-12°C), not ice cold. Excellent with roast chicken, creamy pasta, grilled fish, or soft cheeses. Has the body to handle richer dishes that would overwhelm lighter whites. Drinking beautifully now, will develop further over 3-5 years.

Nestled between the shores of the Mediterranean and the foothills of the Cévennes, the Puech-Haut estate extends over more than one hundred and fifty hectares. The castle was built there with good reason: an ideal climate, passionate men and land covered with pudding stones (galets), made famous in Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
Through wine, the personalities and the richness of an entire region are also expressed and shared. Thus, the wines of Château Puech-Haut are all steeped in history and endowed with a singular identity and a strong character.
The history of Château Puech-Haut is closely linked to that of its founder, Gérard Bru. A man who, after a successful industrial career, decided to leave everything behind to reconnect with his roots: The land of Languedoc. This region of southern France was already full of history for Gérard. It was on this land that he was introduced to vineyards by his grandfather. And it is also here that his father worked as intendant of the National School of Agronomy of Montpellier. It was there, at the time just scrubland and wild olive groves, that he built his dream.
