Rare Bottles

Region – Ardèche

Small scale producers with low yields and those sought after bottles with a cult following make some wines hard to come by. Here you'll find those that we've manged to bag tiny allocations of.

Petite Nature
Bonne Etoile 2023

A wine of true originality that feels genuinely hard to place - deep, concentrated fruit, with the sort of silky elegance that only patience in the cellar can bring. Aromatics leap from the glass - pastel parma violet and juicy blackcurrant, the white grapes bring a curious element of tinned pineapple fruit and its accompanying lick of acid. Find out more.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Larmande 2011

Those who have had the experience know that, whilst humbly priced, Mazel wines age with aplomb. We're happy to offer a small quantity of the above Syrah cuvee with well over a decade under its belt. Here we start to see the youthful fruit fall away into something more chiseled and defined. Find out more.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
L'Alezan 'Resilience' 2022

Muscular Northern Rhône-style Syrah from the Bonneton’s prized vineyard, where vines planted as far back as the 1940s cling to steep, south-facing terraces that look down to the river Doux, one of the Rhône’s western tributaries. Find out more.

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton
L'Alezan 'Suspens' 2022

Patricia & Remi's domaine white is a distinctly Northern Rhône affair; an equal blend of Marsanne & Roussanne from a single tiny plot, sitting a stone's throw from the river bend where the storied appellations of the region converge. Find out more.

Daniel Sage & Jordi Torgue
La Voix du Périscope 2022

A pure expression that is breezy and lithe. Rich savouriness is balanced by soft stone fruit and a lick of acidity, Oolong-like tannins and a pithy finish. Find out more.

Petite Nature
Le Jour se Leve 2024

Marsanne from St Réméze in the southern Ardèche, made using whole bunches in carbonic maceration. This technique really draws out the broad, textural potential of the varietal - tannins have a delicate, dialled-back grippiness that neatly frames ripe southern flavours of hay, honey, saline stone fruit and a burst of pineapple.

Prospérité de l'Entreprise 2022

Petite Nature
Sorcières 2024

Aromatically it is pure Syrah – briny black olive tapenade, peppery blackcurrant fruit – but on the palate the Viognier reveals itself in the more unexpected sensation of citrus peel, fennel, green olive and brings a silky fluidity. It is the harmony found between these two opposing dynamics in which the wine succeeds. Find out more.

Petite Nature
Tombée du Ciel 2024

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.
