Grape – Chenin Blanc

Mikaël Bouges
Prométhée 2022

Like all of Mikaël's wines from the dry 2022 vintage, there is a chiselled structure and profound minerality, the vines having reached deep down to the limestone bedrock for nutrients. White peach and spices with taut acidity and a delicate, honeyed quality, neatly balanced out with a pronounced salty minerals. A wine of precision and poise. Find out more.

Thomas Puéchavy
Les Turbulents 2022

This is the second release of the 2022 vintage, given an extended lees ageing equaling a total of two years sur lattes before disgorgement. The extra time has taken the wine from quenching fizz into altogether more refined territory. Find out more.

Mai & Kenji Hodgson
Les Aussigouins 2021

As a broad stroke one could describe Les Aussigouins as a more amped-up sister to Faia - the production is the same, it is the qualities in the raw materials that make it unique. The fruit is opluent and richly textured, with beautiful, long acidity that points to this being a wine built to go the distance. Find out more.
