Rousselle 2018 Cotes de Bourg
75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Malbec, 2% Cabernet Franc.
A ripe, fleshy style delivers toasty spice and tobacco notes up front, followed by dark cocoa, crushed plum and blackberry fruit flavours. Creamy and concentrated on the palate with alluring dark fruit and a long, velvety finish. A graphite edge cuts underneath, adding length and definition.
Coquard 2019 Julienas ‘Jules Cesar’
Baumard 2022 ‘La Caleche’
Low yields, hand harvesting and farmed according to organic principles. 9 months in vats on fine lees.
Aromas of pears, lemons, peaches and honey with floral and mineral hints. Great tension on the palate, which is pure with persistence and incredible precision. An easy wine to drink with well-balanced acidity and great structure.

Aydie 2019 Madiran Ode D’Aydie
Prapian Col De L’Utia Prosecco Docg
La Rivolta 2021 Coda Di Volpe Sannio Taburno
93 pts – “Peach, apricot and minerals on the deep, complex nose. Then rich, dense and tactile, with flavors similar to the aromas on the long, ripe, stony finish. Another smashingly good Coda di Volpe wine by La Rivolta, an estate that has a real knack for this variety and a long history of making outstanding wines with it.”
– Ian d’Agata (Vinous)
Grosbois 2020 Clos La Henry Bourgeuil
Coming from a single parcel in the Bourgueil area, Clos de la Henry shows notes of raspberry, graphite, green peppers and violet along with a smooth yet refreshing texture. Using minimal intervention during production, it is a magnificent expression of Cabernet Franc. To be served with boudin or venison terrines.
