Landron-Chartier Natürlich 2021
Benoit hasn't had a year like 2021 in quite a while. The four days of consecutive frost saw him lose 90% of the grapes that would typically be used in this wine. With many of his neighbours in a similar position with not much fruit to spare, he had to...

Domaine Durrmann Riesling Grès Nature 2021

Laurent Saillard Lucky You! 2021

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton - La Tangente Metisse 2021
Imported directly and exclusively by Wayward. The second vintage of this experimental cuvée is an absolute triumph, in our opinion one of the finest Patricia & Remi have bottled as La Tangente. In a slight twist to last year, we still have...
