Frédéric Cossard Jura Ploussard 2020
Ploussard from old vines in both Sainte-Agnès and Arbois. Unlike most in the region, Fred ferments the grapes as whole bunches and after a week of maceration, the wine is pressed off to concrete eggs for a short élevage. Achingly pure,...

Jérôme Saurigny Reclair 2020
A pithier and darker, more savoury red than previous vintages from Jérôme. The two Cabernets really shine – liquorice, black olive, pepper – and this is lifted by the fruit of the Gamay and Grolleau. Cut through with a laser beam...

Patrick Bouju & Justine Loiseau Super B 2020
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...

Patrick Bouju & Justine Loiseau Touski 2020
A trio of grapes, including Nielluccio, a Corsican native that is thought to be a strain of Sangiovese. As that might suggest, this wine is a little deeper, more structured than the other reds. The grapes are all destemmed and vinified together. There...

Raphaël Beysang & Émélie Hurtubise Bunny Wine NV LITRE
A pleasure to receive the new vintage of this Wayward favourite, formerly Enculés, now more innocuously illustrated with some cute fluffy rabbits and informally dubbed 'bunny wine'. Raphaël & Émélie first introduced their...

Axel Prüfer - Le Temps des Cerises 'Jalava' 2020
This is from the 3rd passage from the Cinsault parcel and typically the deepest of the wines seeing 20 days in whole bunch maceration. Still coming in under 13% this is still incredibly fresh and vibrant, with a little more structure than previous years...

Axel Prüfer - Le Temps des Cerises 'Fou du Roi' 2020
Equal parts of Carignan from basalt soils, Grenache and Cinsault from limestone based soils, each undergoing 15 days maceration in whole bunches. With a beautiful perfume and elegant structure, it is a delicate, translucent ruby red that really sees the...

Patrick Bouju Cailloux 2019
The lesser spotted Cailloux. These don't pop up very often and needless to say we don't have very many of them. This is Pinot Noir from some of Patrick's oldest vines which are planted over volcanic soils of Basalt. Vivid, fine-grained and electric. Best...

Jean-Yves Peron I Vicini Barbera 2019
I Vicini is Jean-Yves' négociant label, specifically when he uses grapes that make the passage over the alps from Italy. It sounds unlikely, but a glance at the map reveals that the vines in Piemonte from which this Barbera was harvested are only...

Anders Frederik Steen I hate to say Goodbye 2019
A blend of Carignan and Grenache Noir from Le Mazel in Valvignères. The final press of Carignan was blended with equal parts of Grenache Noir and aged in old barriques for one year. A deep ruby in the glass, the nose is thick with sunkissed fruit...

Patricia & Rémi Bonneton - La Tangente Encore! 2021
Imported directly and exclusively by Wayward. The latest wine from Patricia & Remi's negociant label; absolute pitch-perfect glouglou material for what we hope will be a sunny spring and summertime. This is floatation-method Grenache - by that we're...

Christophe Lindenlaub La Tetine a Kiki 2020 LITRE
Outsized litre format! The first vintage Christophe is harvesting from this plot — younger Pinot vines planted on schist and blue marl — a rather unusual soil for this part of Alsace. The grapes were macerated in whole bunches for 1 week...

Patricia & Remi Bonneton - La Tangente Potion 2020 MAGNUM

Domaine des Grottes Brut de Cuve 2021
Gamay given a 5-day maceration before pressing into cement tanks then bottled early like a primeur (the name given to very young wine, sampled from the tank). Very light, very pure and very delicious. Be sure to serve this one chilled. Romain Des...

La Vrille et le Papillon Z Rouge 2018
Great to have some stock of a back vintage that is benefitting from that extra bit of time in the cellar. Z Rouge is a blend of roughly 50/50 Syrah and Merlot. The Merlot sees only tank, but the Syrah is fermented and raised in old barrels for 9 months,...

Elisa Guerin 'La Vigne de Mon Pere' Moulin-à-Vent 2020
The aromas here are wine open, with a lifted floral perfume. With Moulin-à-Vent generally providing more meaty intensity, here an impressive balance of muscularity and elegance is on display, with a granular feel to the grippy tannins. Dark, inky...

Elisa Guerin Chiroubles 2020
Gorgeous, powdery aromas of crushed rose petals and peppercorns leap from the glass, the texture of the wine is beautifully soft and silky, with integrated, lightly gripping tannic structure. There is a rusty, iron-like mineral quality beneath it all,...

Domaine Bobinet Hanami 2020
Hanami is a vin de soif, a wine to drink in its youth, to enjoy its fruity and fragrant character. Made from several parcels of Cabernet Franc, vinified with the goal of preserving the aromas of fresh grape juice. The texture is rather light, the...

Le Mazel Cuvée Briand 2018
Briand is 100% Grenache and is, in our opinion, a perfect example of how this varietal can express itself in this part of the world. The fruit is spicy and red, with a beautiful perfume full of wild fennel and clove. The wine is neatly cut through with...
