FRÉDÉRIC BROUCA’S FAUGÈRES ARTISTRY:
UNVEILING THE ESSENCE OF NATURAL WINES
Many people consider Frédéric Brouca’s natural Languedoc wines a breath of fresh air.
Is it because of the unique schisty and rugged landscape of the Faugères wine region? Is it because of his unwavering vision of crafting raw and delicious ‘Vin Vivants’? Is it because he is a talented self-taught vigneron? The answer is all of the above.
Unfined, unfiltered with minimal sulfur added at bottling, they’re a reflection of his commitment to reducing human intervention at all levels of grape-growing and winemaking, and are essential additions to your natural wine collection.

PRE-ORDER CLOS DEL REY
In the foothills of the Pyrénées Mountains, not far from the Mediterranean sea, Clos del Rey is situated in the high altitude hills over the tiny village of Maury. The estate has been owned and farmed by the Montagne family for generations. The vineyard itself is nestled among a protected area of garrigues (rosemary and thyme), where the vines of up to 120 years old are allowed to grow natural and untrained, in the old-fashioned way, known as the goblet or bush style.
However, it is what lies beneath the vineyard that lends much of the character and complexity found in their wines. Julien Montagne makes complex wines that truly represent his vineyards and his Catalan roots – you can almost smell the sun in the glass.
