Melon De Bourgogne

A biodynamic gem from the heart of Muscadet country, grown on weathered granite soils that give this wine its lively backbone. The family behind it has farmed these vines organically for decades, working the land with real care and letting the fruit speak for itself. Expect a crisp, mineral-driven white with notes of citrus, white flowers and a touch of sea spray. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged on fine lees, it gains texture without losing its freshness. Brilliant with oysters, grilled fish or simply chilled on a sunny afternoon. Honest, pure and seriously good value for a wine with this much character.

Orthogneiss BIO

Grown on ancient orthogneiss rock in the heart of the Muscadet country, this Melon de Bourgogne comes from a family estate farmed biodynamically since the 1970s — a true pioneer in the Loire. Old vines, hand harvesting, wild yeasts and no additions: just pure juice left on fine lees to build texture and depth. You'll find a bright, mineral white with notes of citrus zest, white flowers and crushed stone, finishing saline and wonderfully tense. Perfect with oysters, grilled fish or a plate of fresh goat's cheese. Honest, living wine from a terroir that speaks for itself — enjoy it chilled.

Anjou

Crafted in the heart of the Loire, this is Chenin Blanc at its most precise. Thibaud Boudignon farms his old vines organically on schist and sandy soils around Savennières, working tiny plots by hand with obsessive attention. Fermentation happens naturally in barrel, with long ageing on fine lees to build texture without ever masking the fruit. Expect a nose of white peach, quince and crushed stone, then a palate that's wonderfully taut yet generous, with a saline, mouth-watering finish. It drinks beautifully now with roast chicken or scallops, and will reward a few years in the cellar. A benchmark white from a gifted winemaker.
