"A well-balanced and rich Pic Saint-Loup, with delicious fruity flavors that are a real treat for the taste buds!"
"The Arbouse displays lovely tannic texture and ripe fruit, with a savory body and depth. This wine, which finishes with notes of licorice, avoids the pitfalls of this warm vintage." (Le Guide RVF 2026)

Wine rated (2026 guide) 92/100
Rated estate (2026 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
The new generation of the Bruguière family is exploring biodynamic winemaking and producing fresh, structured, and rich red wines. We love the sense of balance in their delicious reds.
About the estate:
This Valflaunès estate, nestled in the shadow of the impressive Pic Saint-Loup, was one of the pioneers of the quality revival in Languedoc. Xavier, representing the new generation of the Bruguière family, is exploring biodynamic viticulture and achieving excellent results with fresh, structured, and rich reds. The unique white wine, Les Mûriers, is intended for fine dining. The estate made the bold decision to sell off part of its vineyards to refocus on the historic family-owned lands between Pic Saint-Loup and the Hortus massif. We love the sense of balance in its reds and its white, Les Mûriers.

About the estate:
Mas Bruguière is reached via a breathtaking road that winds its way between the cliffs of Hortus and Pic Saint-Loup. After taking over from his father, Guilhem, in 1999, Xavier Bruguière (seventh generation) converted the family estate and its 11 hectares of vineyards to organic farming.

Rated estate (2026 guide) 1*Star (Rising stars or high-quality winemakers producing wines of a good standard—you won’t be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
The Arbouse displays lovely tannic structure and ripe fruit, along with a savory body and depth. This wine, which finishes with notes of licorice, avoids the pitfalls of this warm vintage.
About the estate:
This historic 12-hectare estate spans two areas: the Rocher de la Bergère, directly below the Hortus cliff, and the Plaine, a north-facing terroir at the foot of Pic Saint-Loup. Xavier Bruguière is the seventh generation to lead the estate. The vineyards are exceptionally well-maintained, and the wines are approachable and elegant, without compromising their aging potential.
