Tasting Notes
In the glass, Lou Bragalou 2022 shows a pale straw to light gold color, with a subtle greenish hue that hints at its youthful energy. The nose is inviting and expressive, with notes of white peach, ripe pear and yellow plum layered over hints of citrus blossom, fennel, wild herbs and a delicate saline touch. On the palate, the wine is medium‑bodied yet precise, with a lovely balance between ripe stone fruit, citrus zest and a gentle, rounded texture typical of Grenache Blanc. You may notice flavors of nectarine, pear and lemon oil, supported by a fine, linear acidity that keeps everything fresh and lifted. The finish is clean and gently mineral, with a whisper of Mediterranean herbs. Enjoyable now for its vibrancy and aromatic intensity, it should drink beautifully over the next 2–4 years, gaining a bit more roundness and complexity with short‑term cellaring.

Production
Domaine Flo Busch works with vineyards in Languedoc that benefit from abundant sunshine, cooling breezes and a mix of limestone and clay soils, ideal for preserving freshness in Grenache Blanc. The grapes for Lou Bragalou are typically harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to retain both aromatic intensity and natural acidity. In the cellar, the focus is on a gentle, low‑intervention approach: careful pressing of whole or lightly crushed bunches, cool fermentation to protect delicate aromas, and maturation on fine lees to add texture and subtle complexity without masking the grape’s pure character. The result is a wine that clearly reflects its Mediterranean terroir, with a refined, contemporary style.

Food & Serving
Lou Bragalou 2022 is a versatile food wine that pairs beautifully with grilled or baked white fish, shellfish, and simple seafood dishes such as prawns, mussels or scallops. It also complements Mediterranean cuisine—think goat cheese salads, vegetable tartes, roasted fennel, herb‑marinated chicken or dishes featuring olive oil, lemon and fresh herbs. Serve at 10–12°C to highlight its freshness and aromatics. Decanting is not essential, but opening the bottle 15–20 minutes before serving and using moderately sized white wine glasses will help the wine open up and show its full range of aromas.

Producer
