Region – Loire

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.

Jean-Pierre Robinot
Charme 2021

A gentle shade of gold in the glass, this is wonderfully delicate and finessed, with gentle notes of citrus and stones. It displays the kind of tightrope balance that we find in the very best examples of the grape, suggesting a long life ahead. Find out more.

Mikaël Bouges
Prométhée 2022

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 2021

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.

Aphrodite 2019

Dazzling Chenin Blanc from vines approaching a staggering 100 years old. Vines of this age produce tiny yields, but the fruit is of the highest quality. The flesh of the fruit is generous and the acidity is on-point and lingering. Just delicious! Find out more.

La Lunotte

JC Garnier

Mikaël Bouges
French Clara 2023

Less steely and with softer edges than his more classical staple 'La Pente de Chavigny', this feels open and expressive, but never anything other than laser-beam linear. Juicy green apple, elderflower and ripe pear come together in a salivating meld, with a line of raw lemon citrus cutting it all through - without intervention, none of Mikaël’s whites complete malolactic, giving the wine some good vibrancy and edge.

La Grapperie
Désirée 2017 MAGNUM

Extra-special large format Chenin from the Grapperie cellars. We were lucky to get our hands on a few magnums that have been slowly developing since the 2017 vintage.

Les Aussigouins 2021

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.
