La Vrille et le Papillon Q Blanc 2020
Incredibly tasty wine 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 - but there is also a lovely oily citrus...

Le Mazel Vin de Soif 2018
Vin de Soif is a true wine of thirst - Gérald’s quaffing wine. Roughly a 50/50 blend of Grenache and Carignan that, like most of the Le Mazel reds, starts off with a ten-day carbonic maceration, before being racked and allowed continue the...

Frédéric Cossard Morey-Saint-Denis 1er Cru Monts Luisants 2019 MAGNUM
From a tiny parcel of seventy year old vines planted with the rare Pinot Fin, just above the Grand Cru Clos de la Roche. Lighter than previous vintages in the glass, as ever it is a hauntingly complex, beautiful expression of Pinot that offers...

Émélie Hurtubise Ouareau 2019 MAGNUM
Wonderful bright fruit, a really weightless and elegant Gamay and a magnum-only bottling. Named after the river from the summer house in Canada where Émélie grew up. Another parcel on granite, planted in the 1950’s. Harvested the...

Raphaël Beysang Noah 2019 MAGNUM
Very stony and mineral but with beautiful fresh fruit, and incredible length, this is a really special wine great to savour in large format - bottled in magnum only. Gamay from Sarcey, vines planted on Granite soils in the 1950’s. The grapes were...

Domaine Mosse Bangarang Primeur Rouge 2020
Bangarang (the name, interestingly, take from the Robin Williams film 'Hook') is intended to have the character of a primeur - essentially as wine you drink from the tank. Young, fresh, not yet put through any period of élevage or ageing...

François Saint-Lô Pet Rosé 2019
So the rumour goes, this delicious, juicy pét-nat never makes it out of the Saint-Lô cellars because François & co generally tend to drink it all themselves during the thirsty work of harvest time - it's easy to see why. This year...

Joseph Jefferies La Pierre de Sisyphe Rouge 2014
It's always great to be able to offer wine that has that bit of extra time to get to the right place before it hits the shelves - here is some wine from back in 2014 that Joe was able to hang on for a bit, and how on point it is tasting as a result. 100%...

Mas Coutelou Sauvé de la Citerne 2019
Brisk, brambly red blend with plenty of edge. Vivid and spicy with an abundance of deep, dark fruits. A wine that needs a bit of time once the cork is removed - decanting or opening ahead of drinking is recommended to get the best from this one. The...
£18.50 -
Mas Coutelou Classe 2019
Classe is a red blend, but with predominantly Syrah, and that is what comes through the most noticeably here. Lots of dusty blackcurrant fruit on the nose, glossy and vibrant in the glass with loads of generous, toothsome fruit, propped up by a solid...

Frédéric Cossard Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot 2019 MAGNUM
This is the first time we’ve been able to get a little wine from this wonderful premier cru, so it goes without saying that we're over the moon to offer it in magnum format. From towards the top of the appellation, there is plenty of limestone...

Frédéric Cossard Chassagne Montrachet 1er Cru Abbaye de Morgeot 2019
This is the first time we’ve been able to get a little wine from this wonderful premier cru. From towards the top of the appellation, there is plenty of limestone amongst the dense clay, producing a concentrated, layered and deep expression of...

Frédéric Cossard La Chassornade 2020
Fresh, vibrant petillant naturel from a forty year old parcel of Aligoté in Puligny. With no disgorgement, the wine remains on its lees in the bottle, making for a dry, cloudy and incredibly refreshing sparkling wine that is all lemons, sea salt...

Sébastien Riffault Saulétas Sancerre 2015
A new addition to the range of wine we have available from this iconoclastic producer! In a simikar ilk to the Auksinis, it is a deep golden white wine, picked late for maximum ripeness and to allow a small portion of the grapes to be infected with...
£38.00 -
PM & M Luneau Garance Muscadet Sur Lie 2020
Great value, everyday drinking bone-dry white. The character is lean; fruit is saline lemon, with a zesty, prickly acidity. Smoky and bread-y on the nose with added texture from extended time on the lees - the classic technique in this area to give this...
£14.75 -
Le Clos des Jarres Insouciance 2019
An unusual blend of of one third Merlot and two thirds Caladoc, this wine (whose name translates as 'carefree') has been specifically created by Vivien to go against expectations of a wine from the Minervois, and to put varietals that aren't favoured by...

Catherine & Pierre Breton Les Picasses Chinon 2002
A bit of a treat from the cellar here - it's our pleasure to be able to list some Chinon by the venerable Catherine & Pierre Breton from way back in 2002, one of the oldest vintages of any wine we have on the site at the moment. So much to unpack...

Les Foulards Rouge Octobre 2021
Another gorgeous, brand-spanking 2021 release from Jean-François Nicq, and again, something very different to what you might typically expect from the Roussillon. Much like sister wine Le Fond de l'Air est Rouge, this is a nouveau in style -...
£20.50 -
Catherine & Pierre Breton Pierres Rousses Vouvray 2017
Fleshy, and as the name and label may suggest, mineral style of Chenin - all the better for the bit of time we've given it in the cellar. Ripe honeydew melon, bound with a tight wire of acidity. Less perfume and certainly less residual sugar than you...
