Read moreYann Gives A Schiste
2021 was a tricky year in Andlau, with heavy losses thanks to brutal mildew. Yann lost nearly 50% of his Pinot, in addition to other varieties. Ever the optimist, given that he was able to make any wine at all, he still chalks 2021 up to a success...

Read moreLord Of The Fruit Flies
After a tricky 2021, we have new Brand Bros releases from an unusual year in the Pfalz. We spoke with Jonas about rolling with the punches, and the optimism of new growing season.
Read moreSpring at Séléné
There's a sense of frustrating irony to the life of a Beaujolais vigneron in the current climate: survive the frosts just to later battle the sun, but Sylvère & Mathilde are up for the challenge. We have a pair of lively new wines that are a triumph in the face of adversity: being light on their feet, fresh, and pure.

Just arrived from Offbeat, Field Notes 1 & 2 are here!

Read moreWelcome to Clos Kixhaya
With their first vintage in 2020 a huge success, we're honoured to be joining Beatriz and Étienne at the start of their journey.

Read moreOnce In A Decade at 2Naturkinder
The second vintage of Weinschwärmer is with us, and its an absolute belter:
"This is a once in a decade vintage I think" Michael told us recently. "I'm not allowed to have favourites, but everything in this vineyard in 2019 worked perfectly. If I'm in the cellar working on carpentry projects or cleaning, and I'm having a glass- you start to notice the barrels you return more often than the others- I really love this vintage."
Read moreThe New Gard: More From Lori Haon
New 2020 cuvees are good to go from our young-gun of the Gard, Lori Haon at Domaine de Petit Oratoire. 2020 was one of the first bumper years for Lori, and the new wines sing the carefree tune of his first easy vintage.
Read moreGolden Drops: The 7 Parcels at Domaine Dandelion
We spoke with Morgane at Dandelion just before Christmas, whilst her and Christian were pressing apples for their first attempt at making cider. We talked through each of their 7 micro parcels to get a clearer sense of the new vintages and how they've been assembled. Scattered across the hills of the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune, their surface now totals just under 3 hectares, with Beaune's limestone as the bedrock beneath each.
