A Loire gamay with real character, made by Houas Boukella on schist and sandy soils that give the fruit its lift and freshness. The vines are worked gently, hand-picked, then vinified with minimal intervention: whole bunches, native yeasts and no heavy handling, so the juice keeps its crunch. Expect a bright, juicy red bursting with raspberry, wild strawberry and a peppery, slightly floral twist, with silky tannins and a lively finish. Serve it lightly chilled with charcuterie, grilled vegetables or a simple roast chicken. If you like your reds easy-going but full of personality, you'll love this one.

VDF Fleurette

A delicate orange wine from the Loire, made by a small, hands-on estate working with real care in the vines. The grapes are picked by hand from plots farmed naturally, then left to macerate gently on their skins for a few days — just long enough to pick up that lovely amber glow and a soft, grippy texture without ever turning heavy. Expect notes of white peach, dried flowers, a hint of citrus peel and a fresh, saline finish. Light on its feet and easy to love, it's brilliant with grilled vegetables, soft cheeses or simply on its own, chilled.

VDF Zali

A fresh, characterful white from the Loire, crafted by a small artisan estate working with care and a light touch in the cellar. The vines grow on sandy clay and flint soils, farmed naturally to let the fruit speak for itself. Hand-harvested grapes are gently pressed and fermented with native yeasts, with minimal sulphur added, giving a lively, textured wine full of personality. Expect citrus zest, white peach and a saline, almost chalky finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. Lovely with goat's cheese, grilled fish or simply chilled on a sunny afternoon with friends.

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.
