Mikaël Bouges
Prométhée 2023

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.

La Roseur 2023

Simple, thirst-quenching rosé made from the same base wine as his La Bulle pet-nat, a direct press of Gamay and Côt. It's a straightforward vinification, similarly completed in steel only and then bottled young. The style is less fruit-forward, more lean and savoury - little red fruits sit below a more prominent saline minerality. With a good chill this is one of those no-brainer pours for those moments when more is more. Find out more.

La Pente De Chavigny 2024

2024 was a warm vintage which shows itself in the generous fruit profile, but as always the wine is angular and mineral too. This year there is the faintest rush of pinprick bubbles upon opening, enhancing the crisp refreshment. Find out more.

Le Fié 2023

A beautiful single-vineyard cuvée, using the forgotten Sauvignon Gris varietal - know locally as Fié. White peach, lemongrass, something a little golden and honeyed. A touch of barrel richness melds nicely with the fleshy textures on show. Find out more.

Les Couilles d'Anes 2023

A serious wine with a silly name - Couilles d'Anes translates as 'donkey balls', a colloquial term coined by the local vigneron to describe the unusual black stones that can be found dotting the vineyard soils in certain locations. A delightfully aromatic vintage, bright cherry and bramble fruits meld with a violet perfume in the glass. Find out more.

French Clara 2025

Less steely and with softer edges than his more classical staple 'La Pente de Chavigny', this feels open and inviting, but still with that lovely laser-beam of mouthwatering acidity cutting it through. Find out more.
