Languedoc Château Puech-Haut Tête de Bélier Gérard Bru 2016

The wine

Intense, generous and complex, the Tête de Bélier cuveé is marked by notes of red berries, sweet spices, pepper, licorice and toasted bread. The domain has produced it using a rigorous selective picking process, traditional vinification in wooden vats and an 18-month élevage in casks. All these stages have lent it a great potential for ageing.

About the Producer Château Puech-Haut

Gérard Bru bought this wonderful property in 1981 and began reconverting it after a brilliant career in the industrial sector. His love for the land was passed down to him from his grandfather aho also gave him a taste for hunting and grape-growing in the Minervois. This passion was reinforced by his father who worked at the l'Ecole nationale Supérieure Agronomique of Montpellier. When he arrived, there was not one vine stock. From 1996 to 2006, Michel Rolland worked with the domain giving vinification advice. Today the hectare is composed of no less than 165 hectares.
