Julie Balagny En Remont Fleurie 2020
This is the most dense and powerful of these releases from Fleurie, with layers of fruit, flowers and minerals that reveal themselves slowly over time. From the impossibly steep slopes Julie tends high in the hills of Fleurie. The oldest plants...

Julie Balgany Cayenne Fleurie 2020 MAGNUM
Big bottle! Cayenne comes from forty year old vines grown over basalt and here the black, volcanic soils have a marked effect on this wine, meaning that even in this warmer vintage, it remains lively, fragrant and full of charm. From three hectares of...

François Saint-Lô Bois Guyon 2017
The 2015 vintage of this spectacular cuvée was one of our favourite of recent memory, so much so we skipped the 2016 and here we are diving straight into the 2017 vintage. A drier year results in a darker, more muscular finished wine and the...

Mai & Kenji Hodgson Flotsam 2019
A very tasty, totally different style of wine from Vins Hodgson. In 2019 after some losses in their old vines, which meant the wine was mostly made up of young vine fruit, to avoid the vegetal tannins that can bring, they tried a new technique of...

Jean-Marc Dreyer Pinot Noir Elios 2019
Gorgeous Alsatian Pinot Noir from the gentle giant of Rosheim, equally known for his amiable nature as he is for his method of fermenting his wine in skips. Don’t let that fool you into thinking his wines are anything other than beautifully...

Séléné Brouilly 2020
Beautiful, granitic Brouilly that, like most wines from the 2020 vintage in Beaujolais, is showing the results of a hot vintage. Here this means plenty of delicious dark fruits - perhaps not with the elegance of cooler years but more than made up for in...

Hervé Souhaut Syrah 2020
Hervé is known for his powerful, yet elegant St Joseph wines from his plots in the Northern Rhône, but he also makes some fantastic, approachable Vin de France Syrah from his other holdings near Arlebosc in the Ardèche - this is...
£28.00 -
Daniel Sage & Jordi Torgue Abreuver Ses Sillons 2018
Abreuver is always made with Gamay from Daniel's own vines in Bogy. A very hot vintage there has produced a wine with some real fire in its belly, but with the gentle touch a la Sage, balance is still present. The grapes macerate over three weeks in...
£37.00 -
Domaine Bohn Le Coup de Jus 2020
One of the less typical, more experimental cuvées spearheaded by Bernard's son Arthur who is a fan of trying out new approaches and techniques. Less of a terroir-driven wine, this is an experiment in immediate pleasure that borrows the infusion...
£23.00 -
Frederic Cossard Version Sud 2020
Freddie does the Rhône - one of his négociant wines that poses some incredible bang for buck at a nicely accessible price point for this superstar grower! Grenache from twenty year old vines planted over clay and limestone in...

Aurélien & Charlotte Houillon Indigo Côtes-du-Rhône 2018
Charlotte has used indigo blue natural pigments as well as vine shoots and iris to make the beautiful label. This is one of the top wines at the domaine – old vines yielding concentrated grapes, vinification 'en cuve fermée' (semi-carbonic...

Yvon Métras Madame Placard Beaujolais 2020 MAGNUM
We're very fortunate to offer a small quantity of wine from Beaujolais luminary Yvon Métras. Alongside Thevenet, Lapierre, Foillard and Breton, he was a proponent of the revolutionary theory of Jules Chauvet and Jacques Neauport, otherwise...
£79.50 -
Patrick Bouju & Justine Loiseau Môl 2019
The grapes that go into Môl are an 'all-in' blend of the entire harvest at his home, Domaine la Bohème, as well as a bit of everything he has bought to make his négociant wines from other parts of France. Final details are always...
£27.00 -
Le Champ d'Orphée Côtes du Tarn 2018
Made from obscure local grape Fer Servadou grown in this tiny 2-hectare domaine in France's southwest. A red wine well-suited to the climes of autumn and winter - the fruit is smooth, deep and full of red & black berries and fig. The sedimentary...
£25.00 -
Du Grappin Beaujolais-Villages Nature 2020
Extremely drinkable Gamay at that come-hither price point. From the vineyard of Les Raisses in Lancié, a gentle slope of decomposed granite and schist, next to the celebrated vines of Fleurie. The grapes come from a grower in the third...
£19.00 -
Du Grappin Rouge du Grappin 2020 (1.5ltr Bagnum)
The perfect table red, ideal to have on hand for all eventualities. Very typically Côtes-du-Rhône in style, all dark peppery fruit, but with a lightness of touch that makes it drinkable with lunch, dinner or without. So much bang for buck to...
£29.00 -
Benoit Courault Les Tabeneaux 2020
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...
£21.50 -
Lapierre Morgon 2020
Alongside Guy Breton, Jean-Paul Thévenet, and Jean Foillard, Marcel Lapierre was one of the iconic 'Gang of Four' - a group of vignerons who, inspired by Jules Chauvet, called for a return to the old practices of viticulture and...

Les Vignes de Babass Au Bon Secours 2020
The latest vintage from Les Vignes des Babass! A new listing for us - Au Bon Secours is fruit-driven Gamay with that stony, blood-like mineral purity also in tow. Real vin de soif territory here, lightly chill and watch the glasses drain. Babass is...
