Ripe and textural with layers of tropical fruits, spices and a bright mineral backbone from the limestone. This year the wine is dry and clear-cut, with smoky peaches, herby fennel, aniseed and zesty citrus oils coaxed out by the southern heat. A nourishing country wine with plenty of Mazel soul.

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.

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.

The super-fine bubbles are pinprick but persistent, buoying the gummy strawberry fruits of the Syrah on a little cushion of air. The addition of the white grape creates a lovely brick-tinged, amber-blush colour in the glass, and carries through into spicy, textural stone fruits. Find out more.

Golden amber in colour, with tannins that are chalky, dialled-back, yet deeply integrated. Citrus oils, ripe peach, salty apricot and sweet almond meld harmoniously with herbal aromatics and a distinctive tea-like quality. Find out more.

Aromatically, Syrah, briny black olive tapenade, spicy blackcurrant. On the palate the Viognier shows in citrus peel, fennel, green olive and a silky fluidity. Find out more.
