Six-grape Languedoc white from Saint Martin; partial barrel-fermentation builds textural depth. Retail around €14-20 across French independents.

What it pairs with

With cheese

Pérail Our pick Pérail is milky and sweet, with a melting, creamy paste under a felted rind. A southern white blend fermented or raised wholly or partly in barrel has the roundness to match the paste, and a saline, mineral finish that keeps each bite fresh.

History

Bronzinelle Blanc is a special cuvée from Saint Martin's white grape selection (the estate plants 8 white varieties); partial barrel-fermentation adds textural depth.
