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

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...

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...

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...

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...
