La Luna Blanc '25

A White Wine Born from the Mediterranean's Edge.

Bruno Duchêne is one of the most exciting natural wine producers in Roussillon — a former sommelier who left Paris for the dramatic schist terraces of Banyuls-sur-Mer, where he farms old-vine Grenache on some of the most vertiginous and unforgiving terrain in France. Best known for his Banyuls, Duchêne also produces this striking dry white — La Luna Blanc — from Grenache Blanc and Grenache Gris grown on those same mineral-rich, sun-drenched slopes.

This is a white wine shaped entirely by its terroir: the heat and light of the Catalan coast, the saline air off the sea, and the ancient schist soils that stress the vines and concentrate everything that matters. The result is a wine with real presence — textured, aromatic, and unmistakably southern.

Tasting Notes

• 🍋 Aroma: White flowers, ripe stone fruit, and a warm garrigue character — herbal, sunny, and inviting
• 🫖 Palate: Generous and textured with a saline, mineral edge that keeps the richness in check
• ✨ Finish: Long and warm, with a lingering Mediterranean freshness
