Coteaux du Languedoc Château Puech-Haut Gérard Bru St Drezéry "Tête de Bélier" 2000

The wine

Gérard Bru produced this Coteaux du Languedoc using traditional viticultural techniques and traditional vinification of the separate grape varieties in wooden vats, a long maceration of up to 50 days and an 18-month élevage in French oak barrels. The wine is marked by delicate notes of ripe black fruits, spices and woodiness due to its élevage. This intense, deep and complex wine will work wonders in its first ten years with flavourful meat-based dishes.

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.
