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.

Thomas Puéchavy
Les Vrilles 2022

Given time to open up, a nuanced meld of gently honeyed crisp green apple, lemon sorbet and matchstick reduction float from the glass. Less high-definition-angular than his longer-lived wines, again there is an appealing softness to the structure, with everything hanging in place with casual poise. Salty minerals underpin, and the acidity cuts neatly, with a faint twang of ginger in the long finish. Find out more.

Elegant sparkling Chenin Blanc from Touraine, with a lean, linear expression.
