Meza Wine Club: September 2026
Natural Red / White
Wine 1: Frederic Brouca Pentus White
Roussanne & Grenache Blanc, Languedoc-Roussillon, France
Perfectly plush and tantatalizingly textural, this medium-bodied white from self-taught winemaker Frédéric Brouca is sure to please! Farmed just outside of Faugères in southern France, we’re bearing witness to a legendary link-up of two aromatic grapes, Roussanne and Grenache Blanc, intertwined & holding hands like otters in a river. Fermented and aged in mostly in tank with a small portion in barrel, luscious, ripe fruit is the forefront alongside whimsical springtime florals and enchanting honeyed aromatics. Quince jelly on brie, waxy lemon, white peach & the thick, potent air after a springtime rain shower. Pair with marathons of Beat Bobby Flay and grilled cheeses with at least $8 of Jarlsberg.
