Montagne-Saint-Émilion · Les Piliers de Maison Blanche 2020 · 14%
The second wine of Château Maison Blanche, grown biodynamically on the doorstep of Saint-Émilion. Merlot and Cabernet Franc: black fruit, a hint of leather, freshness undiminished. -
Côtes-du-Rhône · Petit Ours 2024, Matthieu Barret · 13.8%
Syrah from one of Cornas’s most respected winemakers, grown biodynamically. Vibrant red fruit, pepper, violet. -
Bourgogne Pinot Noir · Cuvée Réserve 2022, Roche de Bellene · 12.5%
Nicolas Potel makes it from vines aged 35 to 80 years: old vines rarely found at this appellation level. Cherry, raspberry, woodland floor, a silky texture. -
Cahors · La Roque 2023, Mas del Périé · 11.5%
Fabien Jouves challenges Cahors’s reputation with this biodynamically grown Malbec from the upper slopes (350 m). Forget the heavy ‘black wine’: black fruit, freshness, a mineral finish.
