Mikaël Bouges
Les Côts Hauts 2022

Inky Malbec (the eponymous Côt) that is much brighter and crunchier than most would expect of the grape. As always with Mikaël's wines, there is a noticeable mineral imprint; that hard-to-define aspect of wet stones or patio paving following rain on a hot day. Find out more.

Elisa Guerin
'Les Thorins' Moulin-à-Vent 2022

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.

Jean-François Essler
Réve Éphémère 2022

A silky wine full of pretty red fruit. We’d suggest giving it a bit of air once opened, with a chance to breathe the plush layers of fruit will start to emerge. Find out more.
