Experience the essence of French wines, offering a rich variety of natural reds, whites, and rosés from the country’s renowned wine regions.

Maupertuis
Pink Bulles 2023

One of those wines with a cult following, its annual appearance eagerly awaited and our allocation never hanging around for long. A pastel pink direct-press of Gamay, tart red fruits lead, with some delicious citrus peel bitters and sour stone fruit below the surface. Find out more.

Domaine des Grottes
Brut de Cuve 2022

A red so light we almost called it a rosé. Purity of fruit is the name of the game here, hinged on the idea of travelling from tank to bottle at the precise moment that 'grape juice' becomes 'wine'. It's no doubt clear that this highly youthful style leaves us with a Gamay that is prodigiously drinkable and you'll most certainly want on ice. Find out more.

Mikaël Bouges
La Bulle 2023

A bit like biting into a crunchy red apple right out of the fridge, the wine is whistle-clean, zippy and fresh. Gentle notes of underripe strawberry, tart bramble berries and a twang of rhubarb lead into savoury bitters in the finish. Find out more.

Elisa Guerin
Beaujolais-Villages 2023

As drinkable as ever, with a nose of cherries, crushed peppercorn spice and violet flowers, followed by some freshly crushed berry fruit and a lick of acidity, all underpinned with stony minerals. Juicy, vivid and wonderfully pure, we're so happy with this year's offering, as Elisa goes from strength to strength. Find out more.

Patrick Bouju & Justine Loiseau
Môl 2021

Opening a bottle of Bouju is always an occasion and if you've followed this shapeshifting wine over the years. A wine we always feel punches well above its weight in terms of price. Always surprising, always a banger. One for the curious minds.  Find out more.

Elisa Guerin
Chiroubles 2022

An impressive example of this elevated cru. The texture of the wine is beautifully soft and silky, with integrated, lightly gripping tannic structure. An elegant Beaujolais that bears the complexity of its old-vine origin. Find out more.

Mikaël Bouges
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.

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.

A tasty, deeply-coloured rosé that Noëlla has made for the first time. Clean and pristine, with a fresh line of acidity that cuts the raspberry and cranberry fruits with a saline finish.

The darkest, most brooding and structured of Elisa's cuvées, this is the only one that sees any time in barrel. The grapes come from a single 1.5 hectare plot of 60 year-old vines in Moulin-à-Vent, planted over a very specific soil type known locally as 'gorrha' - a dusty, iron-rich mix of decomposed granite, quartz sands and clay.
