Bruno Duchêne
Bruno Duchêne works in Collioure, the steep-terraced appellation of Languedoc-Roussillon where Mediterranean heat and schist soils shape wines of density and character. The winery's portfolio centers on southern Rhône varieties and local grapes suited to the region's demanding terrain. La Pascole, a blend of Grenache, Shiraz, and Mourvèdre, anchors the red offerings—a wine that reflects Collioure's tradition of structured, fruit-driven reds. La Luna Blanc, made from Chardonnay, provides a white counterpoint, while La Luna itself pairs Grenache with Carignan for a leaner, more mineral expression. Decanter and Falstaff have both assessed the winery's output, recognizing the precision evident across the range. The wines speak to Collioure's particular terroir: ripe fruit tempered by the acidity and tannin structure the region's challenging conditions impose.
