Wine of the Week: Mas Bruguiere Les Muriers 2010

The Mas Bruguiere vineyard is situated at the foot of the mountain in the wonderful terroirs of the Pic Saint Loup appellation.  Organic and biodynamic methods are used alongside controlled yields to harvest the grapes.  This, together with the avoidance of chemicals, strict use of naturally-occurring yeasts, and as little sulphites as possible, gives the wine a freshness and minerality typifying all that is best in Pic Saint Loup.

The Les Muriers 2010 offers the taste of Mirabelle plums and white peaches, with fine vanilla overtones and hints of ripe tannins. This delicious blend of 80% Roussane and 20% Marsanne provides volume and length, while whetting the appetite. Its nose is very delicate with mineral overtones. The resulting harmonies provide a long-lasting aftertaste, extended by the wine’s natural freshness. Drink at one to seven years old.
