La Vrille et le Papillon
Q Blanc 2021

La Vrille's entry white, made from younger vines of Ugni Blanc, that lesser-sung French sibling of Trebbiano. Much the same as that Italian grape, it offers yellow fruits with something a little saline and mineral. There is also a lovely oily citrus quality and the softness of ripe pears that ensures a bottle of this wine doesn't hang around for long. Find out more.

Gilles & Antonin Azzoni

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.

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.
