Mikaël Bouges
French Clara 2023

Less steely and with softer edges than his more classical staple 'La Pente de Chavigny', this feels open and expressive, but never anything other than laser-beam linear. Juicy green apple, elderflower and ripe pear come together in a salivating meld, with a line of raw lemon citrus cutting it all through - without intervention, none of Mikaël’s whites complete malolactic, giving the wine some good vibrancy and edge.

Mikaël Bouges
La Pente De Chavigny 2024

2024 was a warm vintage which shows itself in the generous fruit profile, but as always the wine is angular and mineral too. This year there is the faintest rush of pinprick bubbles upon opening, enhancing the crisp refreshment. Find out more.

Thomas Puéchavy
Les Vrilles 2022/23

A one-off, experimental cuvée that blends two contrasting vintages – the heat and ripeness of 2022 with the cool, linear 2023 – it is a wine of tentative equilibrium as these opposing qualities are brought together. Find out more.

Laurent Saillard
Lucky You! 2024

This cooler vintage has brought a bright acidity which balances the tropical fruit wonderfully. As usual, vibrant, punchy and immediate. A real classic. Find out more.

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.
