Natural Wine For Spring

Grape – Sauvignon Blanc

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.

Gilles & Antonin Azzoni
Nedjma 2022

A blend of just about every white grape variety you'll find in this part of the world, it serves as a great approximation of the style of wine we love the Ardèche for. 'Liquid food' as someone once succinctly put it. Find out more.

Lucy M.
Sauvignon Sensuel 2020

From Wildman to Sensual... this is an altogether less unruly example of Anton's particularly tropical-leaning brand of Sauvignon Blanc. Fragrant, with a subtle kind of blackcurrant leaf aspect and rounded, supple texture. Find out more.

Sam Vinciullo
Red/White 2019

Highly unconventional Margaret River stylings here with this descriptively-named red and white mix of Sauvignon Blanc with Shiraz. In light, chillable red territory, here the red coulis fruits are elevated with herbaceous vim. Incomparable and all the better for it - if it tastes this good, why not? Find out more.

Mas de l’Escarida
Fresiment 2022

Ripe, textural Sauvignon Blanc full of vibrant acids and that hallmark Ardèche rusticity and charm. Here, in some of the highest vineyards of the region, the grape ripens very differently to the cooler climbs of somewhere like the Loire, lending the wine a mouth-coating, stone fruit leaning.

  • Region Cubagnac, Ardèche, France
  • Grapes Sauvignon Blanc

Le Mazel
Cuvée Les Lèches 2022

Ripe and textural with layers of tropical fruits, spices and a bright mineral backbone from the limestone. This year the wine is dry and clear-cut, with smoky peaches, tinned pineapple and citrus oils coaxed out by the southern heat. A nourishing country wine with plenty of Mazel soul. Find out more.

  • Region Valvignères, Ardèche, France
  • Grapes Grenache Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc & Viognier
  • Vineyard Organic

Laurent Saillard
Lucky You! 2023

  • Grapes Chardonnay & Sauvignon Blanc

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. Find out more.
