About the Winery
Château de Montfaucon
Just across the Rhone river from the beautiful vineyards of Chateauneuf-du-Pape, the Lirac appellation extends itself on the low hills alongside the river. The history of Château de Montfaucon dates back to the 11th century when the castle's first tower was built. The castle's role in history was strategic; the Rhône River was the border between the French Kingdom and the Holy Roman German Empire. Montfaucon was one of many castles and fortresses along the Rhône River constructed to guard the border.
Rodolphe de Pins took over the family estate of Montfaucon in 1995 and subsequently rebuilt the winery and began practicing sustainable agriculture. He honed his winemaking skills in Barossa at Henschke and Vieux Telegraphe in Châteauneuf du Pape before returning to Lirac, so needless to say, his familiarity with the local varieties is well established.

92 Points - David Lawrason
This is a blend of usual suspects among the white grapes of southern France with marsanne leading at 40% followed by clairette at 35%. It was fermented and aged in French oak barrels which accounts for the quite deep yellow gold colour. The nose is rather reserved but exotic and complex with waxy notes, apricot, orange peel, honey and wood spice. It is full bodied, almost thick, creamy and warming with 13.5% abv. Quite a mouthful, with some sense of wood tannin on the finish. Needs very rich savoury dishes. Excellent length. Tasted Nov 2025

About the Winery
Château Haut-Grelot
Château Haut Grelot is located in Saint Ciers Sur Gironde, approximately 50 kms north of Bordeaux, on the right bank of the Gironde Estuary. It was established by the Bonneau family in 1922 and now run but the 4th Generation. Today Château Haut-Grelot comprises 58 hectares of vineyards and is run by Céline and Julien, who was recently awarded the title 'Best Young Talent' in Bordeaux.
The vineyards are made up of sandy-gravel on the hillsides bordering the Gironde Estuary and sand-clay-silt on the hillsides further inland. Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux benefits from an ideal microclimate where there is a high level of sunshine and enough rain to guarantee the perfect environment for grape production. As a result the reds are fruity and concentrated and the whites are fresh, vibrant and delicate.

Old vines, rolle, roussanne and grenache blanc, this is subtle and remarkably fresh white wine from the Languedoc, especially considering the hot and complicated 2023 vintage, here registered at just 12% alcohol, but it's not one of those simply early-picked, hot climate whites without flavour. The magic of balanced, old vines, resilient and capable of even quality year after tear. There's pretty extreme sapidity on offer here, a real saline blast of limestone and blinding light, and terrifically lingering finish. One of Brouca's best whites yet, drinking now but no rush - would be interesting to follow this over the next half dozen years. Tasted December 2024.

Normandy-born Frédéric Brouca is one of southern France’s experimentally sound winemakers, a master of wine-styling disguise and blender of reds, whites, Rosé and also those suspected of being Rosé. Here he takes on the IGP of Hérault with a three-part blend of grenache blanc, roussanne and vermentino that speaks to the earth beneath the winemaker’s feet. Do not come here looking and surely not demanding fruit. Yes the grapes are the source, are shown the ropes and work to address our wishes but fruitiness is not the matter at hand. Elements of the earth, especially silt and salt to the “soult.” That being the core and soul of what matters in making and delivering honest wine. That this is and in a most unintentionally intentional way. Drink 2024-2027. Tasted December 2024.

Schist-grown rolle meets roussane and grenache blanc in this cheery blend from the Faugères region of the Languedoc where French sommelier and self-taught winemaker Fréderic Brouca and his Canadian wife Elaine have set down some roots. Brimming with notes of yellow apple, lemon curd, chamomile, wildflower, lemon drop, sea salt, and mineral, this elegant and effortlessly drinkable white is notably complex and authentic. Cleanly made in a low-interventionish fashion using wild yeast and no filtration. Enjoy now in its youtful and expressive condition or hold another 2-3 years in bottle. Certified organic and vegan-friendly. Tasted December 2024.
