Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
La Tangente 'Ho'oponopono' 2022

A maceration of Viognier, Marsanne & Roussanne grown over limestone, acquired from the Gard in the south. A powerfully structured wine, balancing a relatively low gravity with bold, mouth-coating tannins. A hazy, sandy gold in the glass, there is an abundance of intense apricot fruits with a peach iced tea-like quality that lends real dryness to the palate as it tails into a long, herbal finish.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Larmande 2011

Those who have had the experience know that, whilst humbly priced, Mazel wines age with aplomb. We're happy to offer a small quantity of the above Syrah cuvee with well over a decade under its belt. Here we start to see the youthful fruit fall away into something more chiseled and defined. Find out more.

Petite Nature
Tombée du Ciel 2023 MAGNUM

Magnum! One of Paulette’s domaine wines, from a small parcel of 50 year-old Gamay, planted over sandy decomposed granite and quartz at around 500 meters in the hills outside Annonay. This is in many ways her signature cuvée, and offers a beautiful expression of the extreme north of the Ardèche. Find out more.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
L'Alezan 'Resilience' 2022

Muscular Northern Rhône-style Syrah from the Bonneton’s prized vineyard, where vines planted as far back as the 1940s cling to steep, south-facing terraces that look down to the river Doux, one of the Rhône’s western tributaries. Find out more.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Briand 2024

A perfectly nourishing, Ardéchoise expression of Grenache that we'd happily drink day after day. 2024 sees an abundance of blackcurrant fruit right upfront, giving way to those typically herb-flecked notes of liquorice root, fennel and clove. Find out more.

Paysages 2023
