Michel Guignier Oh...! 2019

Deliciously light Gamay, with gentle tannic structure and the impression of tart hedgerow fruit juices filtered through stony granite, leaving distinct mineral traces. Bright, more-ish and incredibly easy to get on with. Michel does not work under the...

Benoit Courault Les Tabeneaux 2019

A wonderful little blended Loire red of deep, savoury Grolleau and peppery, herbaceous Cabernet Franc. The wine is made in the semi-carbonic style, meaning that the fruit character is really upfront and the tannic structure less extracted and more...

Raphaël & Emélié Beysang Enculés 2018 LITRE

A pleasure to receive the new vintage of this Wayward favourite, after Raphaël & Émélie first introduced their wine to us last year when they visited the shop for one of our most memorable tastings. 100% Gamay from vines planted in...

La Lunotte Eau Nice 2018

The first wine Christophe Foucher has made using Pineau d'Aunis - an interesting fact (for those who appreciate a certain level of detail) is that the fruit from this particular vineyard parcel is normally bought by neighbouring...

Domaine Rietsch Tout Rouge 2019 LITRE

No-brainier Alsatian red in the outsized litre format and a nice price to go with it. It’s one of those easy, nimble reds that blends Pinot Noir with a white grape, Pinot Gris, for some extra lift. The red grapes give a tart, crunchy quality, maybe...

Anne & Jean-François Ganevat Les Chonchons 2018

Delicate, detailed Poulsard from Ganevat using Jura fruit purchased from other growers outside their own domaine. In this case some of the vines were planted as recently as 2000 and as long ago as 1949. Red berry fruit and a lovely floral perfume, with...

Anne & Jean-François Ganevat Le Jaja du Fred 2018

Ripe, fairly intense Pinot Noir from what was a very hot vintage. Less lean and mineral than the domaine wines and more generous and fruit driven in style, but certainly not lacking in complexity. The grapes are de-stemmed and the fermentation is...

Julien Pineau Les Sucettes Aux Vielle Aunis 2018 MAGNUM

A very special magnum-only bottling of 100% Pineau d'Aunis; the key ingredient of the eponymous 'sucettes' (lollipops) that give the wine its name. For this cuvée the fruit is only the finest quality, and ultimately greater complexity, coming from...

L’Alezan Tango 2019

Imported directly and exclusively by Wayward Wines. Tango is a limited cuvée that Remi & Patricia bottle under their ‘La Tangente’ label, meaning the fruit has come from an alternative source outside of their own vineyards. In...

François Saint-Lô Les Palennes 2017

More sublime Cabernet Franc from this prodigious young Loire vigneron. The vines in the Palennes vineyard are well-established (around 70 years old) and the fruit is of excellent quality. Here the grapes go through vinification as a mixture of both...

Benoit Camus Vagabond 2017

The first vintage we’ve received from this enegmatic producer, who until relatively recently was working hard in the vineyard but not bottling any wine under his own name. 2017 was another hot year in the South of Beaujolais, and this is a Gamay of...

Domaine de Saint Pierre Pinot de Saint Pierre 2018

Arbois Pinot Noir! Great line of acidity to this one, as well as all the delicious dark forest fruits you'd expect from, say, a Côte de Nuits Burgundy. Like all great Jura reds there is a real stony inflection coming through from the white...

Les Bottes Rouges Aléas 2017

Red Arbois blend using all three of the key grapes of the region: Trousseau, Ploussard and Pinot Noir. This is a one-off cuvée for 2017 owing to a difficult year and frost killing off so many of the grapes that the usual single-varietal...

Karim Vionnet Beaujolais Villages 2018

Pure, bright-fruited Beaujolais from 2 different parcels surrounded Morgon. Fermented and matured in fibreglass and cement using the reductive method, meaning the wine is kept in completely airtight conditions until bottling, preserving freshness...

Jean-François Coutelou Couleurs Réunies 2018

Sébastien David l’Hurluberlu 2019

Each year L`Hurluberlu has its own identity and it seems to be better each year. Dark and vivid purple, fresh and bright with cherry kirsch flavours; lots of dark fruits that are underpinned with a savoury, minerally character. The way Sebastien makes...

Le Mazel Cuvée Larmande 2017

Vital, energetic Syrah made with the usual Mazel technique of semi-carbonic maceration to give the wine a dialled-back tannic structure and plenty of vivid fruit to the fore. Unlike the older vintage of Larmande we also carry, this wine is left to slowly...

Daniel Sage Prospérité de l'Entreprise 2018

Patrick Bouju Super B 2018

Granitic Gamay a la Bouju coming from his own vines over the volcanic soils of the Auvergne. The grapes are all destemmed, lending a softness that tempers the tension in the acidity. The fruit is bright and nimble with a fresh tartness that catches the...
