With cheese

Pélardon Our pick Pélardon is frank and slightly spicy. A Languedoc white blend kept in tank or concrete with no oak, built on grapes such as Roussanne, Grenache Blanc, Vermentino or Viognier, gives clean acidity and peach or pear fruit that do not cover the goat's milk.

History

The white sibling to Mas Bruguière's reds, named after the mulberry trees on the property. Roussanne dominates with Marsanne adding texture.
