Natural Wine For Spring

Grape – Gamay

Now that Spring is upon us heralding the end of the endless winter mist we thought it time to put together a selection of natural wines fit for the Season. Light, bright, fresh, aromatic, sensual: these are the bottles we reach for at this time of year.

Domaine des Grottes
L'Antidote 2023

An ingenious multi-purpose beverage; sparkling Gamay juice infused with wild herbs, apple, lemon & ginger. The ideal bottle if you are abstaining, but equally the necessary tonic when the morning after requires restorative properties Find out more.

Domaine des Grottes
Brut de Cuve 2022

A red so light we almost called it a rosé. Purity of fruit is the name of the game here, hinged on the idea of travelling from tank to bottle at the precise moment that 'grape juice' becomes 'wine'. It's no doubt clear that this highly youthful style leaves us with a Gamay that is prodigiously drinkable and you'll most certainly want on ice. Find out more.

Maupertuis
Pink Bulles 2023

One of those wines with a cult following, its annual appearance eagerly awaited and our allocation never hanging around for long. A pastel pink direct-press of Gamay, tart red fruits lead, with some delicious citrus peel bitters and sour stone fruit below the surface. Find out more.

Elisa Guerin
Beaujolais-Villages 2022

Elisa is back with the 2022 iteration of this Wayward favourite. From a hot vintage this is a deeper, riper Gamay that nonetheless retains its delicacy and verve. Dusty spices, black cherry fruits, stony minerals and elegant, fine-grained tannins. Just delicious. Find out more.

Michel Guignier
Mystère de Rosée 2021

Wow! This is one of those wines that makes a lasting impression for its pure deliciousness. What comes across most distinctively, from beneath all that bright, energetic red berry fruit, is a profoundly stony, mineral tone, as if the wine had been filtered through rock. At once easy to drink, but divertingly complex. Find out more.

Elisa Guerin
Chiroubles 2022

An impressive example of this elevated cru. The texture of the wine is beautifully soft and silky, with integrated, lightly gripping tannic structure. An elegant Beaujolais that bears the complexity of its old-vine origin. Find out more.

Daniel Sage & Jordi Torgue

Mikaël Bouges
La Roseur 2023

Simple, thirst-quenching rosé made from the same base wine as his La Bulle pet-nat, a direct press of Gamay and Côt. It's a straightforward vinification, similarly completed in steel only and then bottled young. The style is less fruit-forward, more lean and savoury - little red fruits sit below a more prominent saline minerality. With a good chill this is one of those no-brainer pours for those moments when more is more. Find out more.
