Inky Malbec (the eponymous Côt) that is much brighter and crunchier than most would expect of the grape. As always with Mikaël's wines, there is a noticeable mineral imprint; that hard-to-define aspect of wet stones or patio paving following rain on a hot day. Find out more.

Bone-dry Touraine Sauvignon Blanc in a classical expression that really harnesses the mineral imprint of the alluvial gravel soils over which it is grown. Steely and precise, with sharp lime citrus. Find out more.

Dark-fruited Bergerac Rouge, offering bags of value for those seeking a fuller-bodied everyday red. Ripe plums and spice and all things nice. Find out more.

The classic Sicilian red grape Nero d'Avola, here in wonderfully expressive form and with an invitingly accessible price-tag. The nose is filled with cherries, currants, chocolate and plum. On the palate the wine is round and full with elegant tannins. Find out more.

Some incredible value to be found here from this Sicilian co-operative. A light touch in the cellar steers it away from the more bland, commercial style too. Plenty of change from £20! Find out more.
