Region – Ardèche

Natural white wine can take on many forms; from bone-dry, pale in colour and decidedly classical, all the way through to wines with a much deeper, golden hue and notable substance. Hazy, vinous, and textured, with a plump succulence that coats the palate. We hope that our wide-ranging selection will throw up some new discoveries and maybe even take you out of your comfort zone to pastures new.

From traditional direct-press to wines that are allowed to mingle on the skins for just a short time, lending deeper, complex tones; whether you live to worship white Burgundy or seek out the most rugged, off-the-radar bottles from remote Italian or Spanish backwaters, you’ll find much to explore here.

La Vrille et le Papillon
Q Blanc 2021

La Vrille's entry white, made from younger vines of Ugni Blanc, that lesser-sung French sibling of Trebbiano. Much the same as that Italian grape, it offers yellow fruits with something a little saline and mineral. There is also a lovely oily citrus quality and the softness of ripe pears that ensures a bottle of this wine doesn't hang around for long. Find out more.

Le Mazel
Cuvée Les Lèches 2022

Ripe and textural with layers of tropical fruits, spices and a bright mineral backbone from the limestone. This year the wine is dry and clear-cut, with smoky peaches, tinned pineapple and citrus oils coaxed out by the southern heat. A nourishing country wine with plenty of Mazel soul. Find out more.

Anders Frederik Steen
Parfois Je Monte à L'étage et Je Me Sens Un Peu Perdu 2018

Pinot Noir from the Bannwarths in Obermorschwihr, Alsace. A blanc de noirs of sorts, here Pinot’s hallmark acidity and alluring perfume are caught up in a cascade of oxidative notes of salt, nuts and yeast, making for something thrillingly unique. Find out more.

Mas de l’Escarida
Fresiment 2022

Ripe, textural Sauvignon Blanc full of vibrant acids and that hallmark Ardèche rusticity and charm. Here, in some of the highest vineyards of the region, the grape ripens very differently to the cooler climbs of somewhere like the Loire, lending the wine a mouth-coating, stone fruit leaning.
