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.

Olivier Cousin
Pur Breton 2023

Pur Breton is in many ways Olivier's emblematic cuvée. Its name, an indirect way of stating '100% Cabernet Franc' where it is not permitted to be said, a source of consternation for the Anjou appellation and exemplar of the spirit of its maker. Find out more.
