The Loire river starts its long journey at Gerbier de Jonc high in the Massif Central before making its winding way to the Atlantic. On its way it passes through a vast spectrum of terroirs and grape varieities, areas that are some of our favourite for the wines they produce and the winemakers that live there.
This selection includes six wines that hail from the heart of the Loire valley (Touraine, Anjou and Saumur), some of the famous grapes of these areas and some lesser known ones.

Vauxrenard, Beaujolais
We have chosen three wines from Michel Guignier which we think exemplify the complexity and variation he manages to achieve from his plots of Gamay.
Included in the selection is a map of the domaine designed by Anna Hodgson and Harry Darby.
Mylène started making wine in 2008 just behind Sète in Languedoc with her parcels of vines that are very much in the wild – thyme, rosemary, lavender, scrub oak and juniper are dense on the hillsides. Although there is a sense of these wild herbs and plants in her wine they do not dominate, nor are her wines too cooked considering how Mediterranean the climate is. Mylène's wines really speak of the place they come from and with her delicate touch achieve wonderful things.
We have selected six wines that show off Mylène’s style and the particular characteristics of her region.
Manuel Valenzuela, with his son Lorenzo farm a few hectares of vines in the Alpujarras, the hills that sit between the Sierra Nevada and the Mediterranean. They are champions of their native grape varietals and make wines of breathtaking purity and precision.
Included in the selection are six wines that show the breadth and depth of the Valenzuela winemaking.
A selection of six orange wines from a variety of regions showing the breadth and depth this age-old winemaking style has to offer.
