Calvez Bobinet, Les Landes 2020
Producer:Calvez Bobinet
Region: Loire, France
Grapes: Cabernet Franc
Style: Red
Alc.: 12%
Size: 75cl bottle
Notes: Some of Seb and Emeline’s older vines (about 50 years old) planted over flint and red clay. The grapes are destemmed, macerated for 25 days on the skins, then aged for 36 months in old barrels. The long ageing here has brought warmth and softness to the green tannins and spice of Cab franc. The spice here is comforting and rounds the palate off nicely.

Saumur - Loire
Sebastien and Émeline have vines planted around Saumur on the banks of the Loire. Their cellar in Beaulieu is a cave that is dug about 500m deep into the soft limestone cliffs. Inside the temperature is a stable 12 degrees all year round – perfect for making wine with minimal chemical intervention. The soil in their vineyards is the same limestone but of varying ages and densities…Read more

Region: Loire, France
Grapes: Cabernet Franc
Style: Red
Alc.: 13%
Size: 75cl bottle
Notes: This is from a 70 year-old plot. The fruit is destemmed, macerated for 35 days, and then aged 3 years in old 228lt barrels. The nose is smokey, with the spice and green notes of tobacco, but the palate is a lot more fruit forward than you’d expect. The depth of blackcurrant with a hint of spice. This is just lovely.
Producer: Calvez Bobinet
Region: Loire, France
Grapes: Chenin Blanc
Style: White, Sparkling
Alc.: 11%
Size: 75cl bottle
Notes: A classic cuvée from Seb and Émeline – an incredible, refined take on a pet nat. This is lighter and fresher then previous years, with salt, acidity, and fine toasty finish from barrel aging.
Producer: Calvez Bobinet
Region: Loire, France
Grapes: Cabernet Franc (Blanc de Noir)
Style: White
Alc.: 13%
Size: 75cl bottle
Notes: A direct press of Cabernet franc, so a blanc de noir. There are gentle aromatics with some fruit and creamy notes and a little zip on the palate. One to drink very cold!

Style: Pink
Alc.: 12.5%
Size: 75cl bottle
Notes: The 2025 vintage feels a touch leaner and brighter compared to the previous year. A herby, leafy nose leading to currant fruit, green pepper, and a chalky mineral finish!

Grapes: Chenin Blanc
Style: White
Alc: 12.5%

Notes: Lovely steely Chenin from Émeline and Séb! This new iteration of a well-loved cuvée is a touch more stalky and green, with a refreshing lick of apple-y acidity to balance a gentle creamy finish.

Grapes: Cabernet Franc, Grolleau, Pineau d’Aunis, Chenin Blanc
Style: Red
Alc: 12%
Size: 75cl bottle
Notes: A mix of direct-pressed and macerated fruit aged in stainless steel tanks. This has all the hallmarks of a carbonic macerated wine – lovely candy-like aromatics, and a wonderfully fruit-driven grenadine profile on the palate. Great with spicy dishes and smoky meats!

Notes: Now a mix of whole bunch and destemmed maceration, aged in concrete. This is a touch bolder and richer than in previous vintages, but still full of crunchy, aromatic fruit.
