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.

Delicate, yet detailed Chardonnay from a cooler vintage that displays a wonderful capacity to age. The terroir of this tiny, largely forgotten region sits between Burgundy and the Jura and as such, the wine bears an expression redolent of both of those places; the limestone bed of the former and the alpine situ of the latter.

As a broad stroke one could describe Les Aussigouins as a more amped-up sister to Faia - the production is the same, it is the qualities in the raw materials that make it unique. The fruit is opluent and richly textured, with beautiful, long acidity that points to this being a wine built to go the distance. Find out more.
