Calvez Bobinet, Du Rififi à Beaulieu 2023 (Loire – Chenin Blanc)
A most delicious sparkling wine made by Séb Bobinet and Émeline Calvez in Saumur, on the banks of the Loire. The fruit comes from Séb and Émeline’s 40 year-old vines that grow on the classic limestone-clay soils typical of the region. A very poised pétillant naturel, this has a lovely, lingering richness that comes from some barrel ageing and fine moussey bubbles reminiscent of the best crémants in France!
WHITE & ORANGE
Patrick & Mireille Meyer, Les Pierres Chaudes 2024 (Alsace – Pinot Blanc)
Patrick and Mireille Meyer are veterans in the world of Alsatian natural winemaking, and have trained many young aspiring winemakers over the years. Their vines are in, and around the village of Nothalten. This is all Pinot Blanc from vines growing on silty soils mixed through with sandstone, granite, and gneiss, aged in large concrete egg-shaped tanks. This is a lovely white for the changing seasons, with lemony acidity, a touch of cream, and a textured mineral finish.
Aurélién Petit, Blanc Pinard 2023/25 (Languedoc – Chardonnay from Gignac, Grenache Blanc from Vacquières)
Aurélien Petit works with about 5 hectares of old and formerly-abandoned vines in the commune of Montpeyroux, the Hérault. To supplement his small output, he recently began working with fruit bought from his friends in the area – this is made of Chardonnay from the 2023 harvest and Grenache Blanc from 2025. A few days’ maceration plus some barrel ageing has imbued this wine with subtle notes of apricot and peach, grassy with hints of Mediterranean herbs, and a gentle grip.

Mas Coutelou, Ploutelou 2024 (Languedoc – Cinsault, Aramon)
Jeff Coutelou has about 13 hectares of vines spread across a variety of plots around Puimisson, and has been certified organic since 1987 – one of the earliest, if not the first in the region! Jeff is a fifth-generation winemaker; he champions native Languedoc varieties, often replanting obscure local varieties. Here he has blended Cinsault and Aramon, native to the Languedoc, into a chillable light red. This has an incredible fruit-driven quality with earthy spice, and a tinge of bloody, iron-like minerality.
Jérôme Jouret, Pas à Pas 2025 (Ardèche – Carignan, Alicante)
The wines of Stéphanie and Jérôme Jouret are some of our favourites here at our bar and warehouse – immensely drinkable, fresh, and precisely made. The Jourets work with old vines (inherited from Jérôme’s father) in Valee d’Ibie that have never seen chemical treatments or fertilizers – Pas à Pas is made of 70 year-old Carignan and 47 year-old Alicante Bouschet, some of the oldest they have. The fruit is macerated for 12 days before ageing in concrete tanks. Damson-y fruit, a light, lifted profile and gentle tannins.
Marie & Vincent Tricot, Les Milans 2025 (Auvergne – Pinot Noir, Gamay d’Auvergne, Syrah)
The transition of the seasons often leads us to bottles from the Auvergne, and Les Milans from Marie and Vincent in Orcet captures everything that we seek in an Auvergnat wine. From a south-facing plot, this is equal parts of Pinot Noir, Gamay, and young Syrah vines that the Tricots planted in 2021. Each variety is vinified separately – some destemmed and others in whole bunches; the Pinot and Gamay going into stoneware amphora, while the Syrah is aged in barrels. Dark, violet-y and tart fruit, with undertones of blood and smoke – a perfect bottle for this autumnal shift.
