Natural Wine For Spring

Producer – Mikaël Bouges

Now that Summer is upon us, despite what feels like endless rain, we thought it time to put together a selection of natural wines fit for the Season. Light, bright, fresh, aromatic, heady and sensual: these are the bottles we reach for at this time of year.

Mikaël Bouges
Prométhée 2023

Like all of Mikaël's wines from the dry 2022 vintage, there is a chiselled structure and profound minerality, the vines having reached deep down to the limestone bedrock for nutrients. White peach and spices with taut acidity and a delicate, honeyed quality, neatly balanced out with a pronounced salty minerals. A wine of precision and poise. Find out more.

La Roseur 2023

Simple, thirst-quenching rosé made from the same base wine as his La Bulle pet-nat, a direct press of Gamay and Côt. It's a straightforward vinification, similarly completed in steel only and then bottled young. The style is less fruit-forward, more lean and savoury - little red fruits sit below a more prominent saline minerality. With a good chill this is one of those no-brainer pours for those moments when more is more. Find out more.

Clic Clac 2025

A zippy and much-loved ancestral method sparkler, a little leaner this vintage with plenty of yellow citrus zest and dry herbs cut through with a long, electric line of acidity that sets the mouth watering. Find out more.

French Clara 2025

Less steely and with softer edges than his more classical staple 'La Pente de Chavigny', this feels open and inviting, but still with that lovely laser-beam of mouthwatering acidity cutting it through. Find out more.
