Le Canon d'Achille 2023

Il Était Une Fois... 2024

A brand new cuvée from the young vines of Grenache Blanc that Meryl and Geraldine have been experimenting with for the last couple of years. Belying the youth of the vineyard, here we see some impressive concentration making for one of their more robust white wines. Find out more.

La Vrille et le Papillon
Q Blanc 2024

Lithe and lean this year and heavy on the yellow citrus, there is the raw attack of freshly squeezed lemon with something more oily and pithy to soften the edges. As ever, this is infused with their trademark herbal bay laurel character and the low finished alcohol lends a tonic quality. Find out more.

La Tribu 2024

Bright, fluid Grenache, with lifted aromatics of dusty redcurrant, capsicum spice and strawberry liquorice. There is something distinctly Gamay-esque at play here; fruit-forward, flora, but with those dusty dry spices and herbal tones that make it so very Ardèche. Find out more.

Caprice du Chameau 2024

2021 sees a different blend for this ever-popular wine after Meryl & Géraldine lost half of their Viognier harvest to hail. As always, the wine shows concentrated, oily citrus and fleshy yellow stone fruits. There is a savoury, herbal quality and the time the wine has had in contact with the lees can be felt in the long finish. Find out more.
