Chenin, but no buttery oak, this is all done in steel tank to keep that citrus twang just as clean as a whistle. Green apple and pear with some nice zippy white peach. The Baby Bandito range offers some crazy value. Find out more.

Like all of Mikaël's wines from the dry 2022 vintage, there is a chiselled structure and profound minerality, the vines having reached deep down to the limestone bedrock for nutrients. White peach and spices with taut acidity and a delicate, honeyed quality, neatly balanced out with a pronounced salty minerals. A wine of precision and poise. Find out more.

Faia brims with crystalline stone fruits that have a concentrated, mouth-coating quality, acidity is tight and the finish leads into a flourish of ginger spice. Serious Chenin which ably demonstrates that a natural approach can produce age-worthy wines up there with the best in the region. Find out more.

As a broad stroke one could describe Les Aussigouins as a more amped-up sister to Faia - the production is the same, it is the qualities in the raw materials that make it unique. The fruit is opluent and richly textured, with beautiful, long acidity that points to this being a wine built to go the distance. Find out more.
