Gerard 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.
