Organic, Biodynamic & Natural

Rich & Elegant

Just across the Rhone river from the beautiful vineyards of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Lirac appellation extends itself on the low hills alongside the river. This is a blend of Grenache (60%), Syrah (30%) and Cinsault (10%) planted on very old terraces made up of rocky pebbles.

This Lirac rouge shows lovely aromatics with notes of lavender, cinnamon dusted black cherries and plums. Some bright acidity and slightly dusty tannin provide a nice structure for this this full-bodied wine. It's a fantastic pairing for hearty dishes like stews and roasts.

Fresh & Delicate

Mas Carlot is situated in the south of the Rhône Valley, extending across 76 hectares of pebbly land southeast of Nîmes.

This seductive rosé is a traditional blend of Grenache (50%), Syrah (40%) and Mourvèdre (10%). Beautifully pale in colour and soft in texture, this is probably the most fashionable vintage to date. Delicate aromas of raspberry, watermelon, citrus fruits & herbes de Provence flow from the glass. The flavours are fruity, dry and crisp with an elegant balance & structure. This is a serious rose at an accessible price.

Mas Carlot Rosé is the perfect rosé to pair with any summer time meal, including tapas and barbecue. It is also a great wine to enjoy with cheese boards or just on it's own at any time!

Floral & Fresh

Unlike many winemakers, Frédéric Brouca is largely self-taught and took no formal courses on viticulture or winemaking.  His concept of growing grapes and winemaking focuses on reducing human intervention in the processes, and making it as natural as possible.

The Champs Pentus Blanc is a Roussanne dominant blend with Grenache Blanc, grown organically on hillside vineyards in the outskirts of the Faugères appellation. After being hand-harvested, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed. A long and slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks and neutral oak barrels (only 20% of the juice!), enhances the aromas and the flavour. 

Medium gold in color, on the nose the Champs Pentus Blanc is highly floral, with aromas of candied quince and beeswax. On the palate, it is light to medium bodied, but with lush texture and a honeyed aftertaste. It has a lovely fresh bitterness, apricot skin-like acidity and a playful and airy finish. 

This Roussanne pairs nicely with flavoured dishes: thai roast chicken thighs or spicy squash and basil pasta.

Mellow & Textured

Two real taste enthusiasts, winemaker Julien Bonneau and Chef Alexandre Lavigne were eager to share their own range of wines and created Cuvée Emma made from vineyards located on the hillsides of St Bonnet sur Gironde in the south of the Charente Maritime, a sub-region near the Ocean, on the outskirts of Bordeaux.

Emma embodies the purity of a natural wine, Alexandre Lavigne and Julien Bonneau attach a great importance on sustainable vine cultivation were the balance of the plant and grape maturity are essential. Winemaking is naturally done without the use of sulphites. Made from Sauvignon Blanc, this white wine has aromas of caramel, peaches and dried fruits on the nose. On the palate, there is great texture and length. 

Enjoy with firm cheeses or fish in a beurre blanc.

Creamy & Zesty

Fixin (pronounced “Fissin”) is situated in the Côte de Nuits, right between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin. It is known for the 10th century church of Saint-Antoine and the manor of La Perrière, where once the monks of Cîteaux came to enjoy the good air and the good wine.

Domaine Armelle et Jean-Michel Molin is a family-run winery that takes pride in farming their 7 hectares of vineyards organically and following biodynamic principles. 

Made from healthy hand-harvested grapes, this Fixin Blanc ages for a year in French oak barrels, half of which are brand-new. This powerful Chardonnay delivers aromas of white flowers, yellow apple and lemon zest. The influence of the wood translates into a rich and creamy texture on the palate.

This wine was made to be savoured slowly. Pair it with escargots à la Bourguignonne or with sautéed frogs' legs. It will also taste amazing into the second day (if you don't finish the bottle...)

Tannic & Delicate

Fixin (pronounced “Fissin”) is situated in the Côte de Nuits, right between Dijon and Gevrey-Chambertin. It is known for the 10th century church of Saint-Antoine and the manor of La Perrière, where once the monks of Cîteaux came to enjoy the good air and the good wine.

Domaine Armelle et Jean-Michel Molin is a family-run winery that takes pride in farming their 7 hectares of vineyards organically and following biodynamic principles. 

Made from healthy hand-harvested grapes, this Fixin Rouge ages for a year in French oak barrels. The reds are what are known as “winter wines” because they need to spend some time in bottle. High-coloured, it has a brilliant deep purple or what the Burgundians call “deep mid-red”. The bouquet comprises floral scents  of violet and peony, fruity hints of blackcurrant, Morello cherry and quince; and a special peppery note. With age this Fixin will acquire a heightened and rounded attack and solid structure. The fullness is remarkable and the texture delicate.

Powerful yet delicate, its tannic structure makes it a worthy partner for good cuts of meat such as braised pork, beef rib steak with parsley, or poultry stews including their Indian variants (curry, tandoori). However, the delicacy of its aromas and of its finish also makes it a candidate for more inventive combinations such as paella, tapas, or spring-rolls. As far as cheese is concerned, it suits the delicacy of a Chaource, the lusciousness of a Comté, or the strong flavours of an Époisses.

Full-Bodied & Smooth

Mas Carlot is situated in the south of the Rhône Valley, extending across 76 hectares of pebbly land southeast of Nîmes.

This special cuvée was inspired by the spirit of the winemaker's children, Blanche, Eugène, Olympe and Achille. This blend of old vines, 60% Mourvèdre and 40% Syrah, was aged for nine months both in tank and in oak barrels. Like the children, the charm of this wine is found in its complexity. Aromas of truffle, tobacco leaves, blackberry and blueberry with a touch of cherry on the palate. 

As the temperatures begin to cool, think about pairing this wine with rich, hearty dishes or roasted meats and vegetables.

Delicate & Floral

When Michel Muré settled in Rouffach and planted his vineyard in the 17th century, he surely had little conception of the beautiful adventure that he was setting in motion for his descendants. In 1935, Alfred Muré extended the property with the addition of the 12-hectare (25-acre) wholly owned Clos Saint Landelin, foreseeing already its potential for exceptional quality. He replanted the terraces, ideally situated with their sunny exposure and shelter from the rain.

Nowadays it is Alfred’s grandson René, together with his children Véronique and Thomas, the 11th and 12th generations of the family, who are responsible for running this exceptional, wholly-owned vineyard and its neighbouring terroirs, using biodynamic methods.

Located in Rouffach, the Clos Saint Landelin, fully owned by the Muré family, covers an area of 12 hectares\. It marks the southern end of the Grand Cru Vorbourg. Located at the exit of the valley, it is exposed to the south and benefits from a good amount of sunshine until late in the afternoon. The north and west winds ensure that the vines remain healthy until harvest time.

Pale yellow with green highlights. Very delicate nose with aromas of orange, lemon and peach. The palate is fresh and velvety, with a beautiful righteousness, the fruit flavours (citrus, apricot). The nose, rather flowery, goes to a fruity mouth: apricot, peach.

The minerality of the wine and its fine tannic texture make this wine very food friendly.

Dense & Brooding

Born in Aix-en-Provence, Matthieu Barret is a young and enthusiastic 7th generation vigneron. After he studied in Beaune, he joined his grandfather in Cornas in 1997. Today, he practices biodynamic viticulture with a focus on low yields and extraordinary quality. He describes his wines as being 100% grape – pure, clean, and low sulfites.

As dark as the wine is dressed, as deep and dark is also its scent. Smelling as well as seeing, one needs a while to get used to recognize contours in the darkness. This dense thicket of aromas conceals cooked plum jam, the scent of fresh Black Forest cherry pie, and the peppery spice of juniper berries and black truffle. And a single deep red rose blossoms behind a small fire-cleared patch of forest.

A wine that invites you to take a walk and discover the land from which Matthieu Barret's Syrah comes and which is inherent in it.
