Noëlla Morantin
Chez Charles 2023

Intriguingly opulent Sauvignon Blanc, that pulls off a fine balance between rich, barrel-y notes and fresh, invigorating citrus fruits. Big aromas that meld some of those buttery notes with lemon and lime leap from the glass and on the palate the wine is impressively soft, rounded and concentrated. Find out more.

Elisa Guerin
Moulin-à-Vent 'Les Thorins' 2023

The darker, more brooding and structured side of Elisa's two Moulin-à-Vent cuvées; this is the only of her wines that sees any time in barrel. Robust and ageworthy, with an iron-rich mineral streak imparted by the gorrha soils that define this single 1.5-hectare plot. Find out more.

Noëlla Morantin
LBL 2022

The wine sees two full years ageing in old oak barrels, imparting a gorgeous supple elegance, with passionfruit, salt crystals and white grapefruit hanging together in harmonious balance. So much purity, so much detail - Noëlla's exceptional top white never fails to bowl us over and is truly one-of-a-kind. Find out more.

Didier & Jules Grappe
Tohu Bohu 2023

Barrel notes are balanced, but can be picked up on immediately - that rich butterscotch, coconut sort of character that feels to intensify the fruit. Lemon is oily, or like a dense lemon curd; bruised orchard pears, a marmalade-y pithiness and concentration and a deep-set, struck match reductions that coils off and melds into the electric acids.

La Vrille et le Papillon
1921 NV

With a gentle flash of tawny to the edge of the rim, here we have a fine balance of development and freshness. Deep, concentrated red and black fruits meld with rustic tannin, cracked pepper spice and those trademark herbal notes: fennel, burdock root and coltsfoot rock can be picked out amongst the leather, rolling tobacco and richer barrel notes.
