Château Puech-Haut is the prized property of Gérard Bru, a passionate champion of the Languedoc. He founded it in 1980 on terroir that so impressed him, he grubbed up the olive trees and planted vines. These vineyards are exceptional, with clay and limestone soils, topped by large galet stones (like Châteauneuf-du-Pape. That and the warm Mediterranean climate results in a very luscious style. He has employed top-name consultants from the start – first Bordeaux's Michel Rolland, now Philippe Cambie. He also boasts the largest barrel in the world – so big there's a shop inside! Critic Andrew Jefford called Gérard Bru "a dark horse", whose grandfather used to swap wine for potatoes. Using all native grapes, Cante Lebre is rich, pure and long.

"Using top consultants, first Michel Rolland, now Philippe Cambie, this estate has soared to the top" Mark Hoddy
