Elisa Guerin
'La Vigne de Mon Pere' Moulin-à-Vent 2022

A wonderful example of what this cru can offer. Often making some of the more structured, ageworthy Beaujolais, here a balance of muscularity and elegance is on display. A wide-open aromatic profile leads to dark, inky fruits with an almost Burgundian character. Find out more.

Mas Coutelou
Classe 2021

At the fresher end of the Syrah-spectrum, with plenty of opulent, lip-smacking fruit. Lots of dusty blackcurrant on the nose, then glossy and vibrant in the glass. Generous and toothsome, propped up by a solid tannic backbone. Find out more.

Elisa Guerin
Beaujolais-Villages Blanc 2023

Aromatically the wine has some detailed aromas of wild herbs and flowers, with golden chamomile notes, nectarine and apricot. Honeyed and full on the palate, with clean acids there is almond among the citrus and stone fruits. Rounding out with some creaminess it tails into fennel bitters in the finish. Find out more.

Olivier Cousin
Pur Breton 2023

Pur Breton is in many ways Olivier's emblematic cuvée. Its name, an indirect way of stating '100% Cabernet Franc' where it is not permitted to be said, a source of consternation for the Anjou appellation and exemplar of the spirit of its maker. Find out more.

La Vrille et le Papillon
Caprice du Chameau 2023

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.

La Vrille et le Papillon
