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.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
La Tangente 'Expérience' 2021

With time to age, the dusty perfume of the wine has developed into something akin to a savoury Jura Pinot, intense with liquorice, allspice and earthy tones. Find out more.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Paulou 2025

Crackling with a bright, nervy energy, the fruits have a pleasing balance of tart raspberry and plum. There is something iron-rich and bloody at its core and the mineral imprint of the limestone can be felt distinctly in the finish. Find out more.

La Vrille et le Papillon
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.

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.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
La Tangente 'Petit Prince' 2023

Aromatics balance brighter, higher tones of red fruits with savoury mushroom in a way that hints at something Burgundian. Texturally, the wine is slick, plush and elegant, giving the dusty cherry fruits and unexpected citrus peels an lovely soft edge. Find out more.

La Vrille et le Papillon
Chapeau Melon 2024

Nourishing, everyday Merlot made from a blend of macerated and directly-pressed juices, creating something inviting and very easy to drink. A vibrant poppy-red in the glass, fruits are herbal, plummy, soft and compote-like. 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.

Petite Nature
Sorcières 2024

Aromatically it is pure Syrah – briny black olive tapenade, peppery blackcurrant fruit – but on the palate the Viognier reveals itself in the more unexpected sensation of citrus peel, fennel, green olive and brings a silky fluidity. It is the harmony found between these two opposing dynamics in which the wine succeeds. Find out more.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Raoul 2002

An utterly thrilling wine and the epitome of the beguiling, almost unfathomable potential that these humble-in-youth wines have to age. 100% Carignan, now with over two decades in the bottle, it has slowly transformed into something quite astonishing. Find out more.

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.

Petite Nature
Tombée du Ciel 2024

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.
