Ruppert-Leroy

Elisa Guerin
'Les Thorins' Moulin-à-Vent 2022

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.

Mai & Kenji Hodgson
La Grande Pièce 2021

Even at full maturity, as here, Grolleau produces light, low alcohol wines with lots of acidity and an earthy quality. The Gamay adds some bright cherry fruits and stony minerality. Lots of freshness this year in this brilliant, quintessential Loire red. Find out more.

Georges Comte
Le Moutherot 'Les Pelerins' 2017

Georges Comte
Le Moutherot 'Sur Roche Bonive' 2008

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. Find out more.

  • Region Émagny, Doubs, France
  • Grapes Chardonnay
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites

Mai & Kenji Hodgson
Les Aussigouins 2021

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.

  • Region Anjou, Loire, France
  • Grapes Chenin Blanc
  • Vineyard Organic
  • Cellar Fermented with native yeasts, unfiltered & unfined, no additional sulphites

Frédéric Cossard
Santenay 1er Cru 'Passetemps' 2020
