L'Arbre Blanc
Les Orgues 2021

Noëlla Morantin
Momu 2020

Aromatically this is a textbook example of the grape; plush, brightly-toned notes of red berries, charred capsicum and ground coffee are vibrant and upfront. On the palate the wine is glossy, with deep, sumptuous fruit and gentle bitters leading into detailed granular tannins and a stony, mineral backbone. 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.

La Grange Du Nord
Bords de Scene 2021

Stunning blend of mainly Grenache with 10% Syrah. From the off, the colour in the glass pulls you in - a brick-tinged sunset ruby, crystalline and inviting. Perhaps the ultimate display of Fred's lightness of touch, the wine blends a lifted, complex perfume, with a confounding depth of structure that belies its appearance. Find out more.

  • Region Gard, Southern Rhône, France
  • Grapes Grenache & Syrah

Mikaël Bouges
Les Couilles d'Anes 2021

A serious wine with a silly name - Couilles d'Anes translates as 'donkey balls', a colloquial term coined by the local vigneron to describe the unusual black stones that can be found dotting the vineyard soils in certain locations. A delightfully aromatic vintage, bright cherry and bramble fruits meld with a violet perfume in the glass. Find out more.

  • Region Touraine, Loire, France
  • Grapes Côt
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, minimal additional sulphites

Domaine Fauvettes
De l'Aube à l'Aube Bourgogne 2022

A warmer year has produced a wine that is a little darker and deeper than previous vintages, where firm tannins frame woodsy notes of berries, earth and spice. Find out more.

Bouche à Z'Oreille 2022

Pouring translucent ruby in the glass, at first the wine jumps at you with lots of tart red fruits before layers of salt, smoke and minerality begin to emerge. Find out more.
