Crafted by Caroline Gimenez, a winemaker who works her Loire vines with real care and minimal intervention, this 2024 red is pure drinking pleasure. The grapes come from carefully tended plots where healthy soils and hand-harvesting are the rule, not the exception. Fermentation happens naturally, with wild yeasts and barely a touch of sulphur, letting the fruit speak for itself. Expect juicy red berries, a hint of pepper and that lively, mouth-watering freshness the region does so well. Light on its feet but full of character, it's the kind of bottle you open on a whim and finish without noticing. Serve slightly chilled.

A vibrant skin-contact wine from the Loire, crafted by Caroline Gimenez with real care and a free spirit.

Expect aromas of dried apricot, quince and orange peel, lifted by a gentle herbal edge and a hint of spice. The palate is dry, lightly tannic and refreshingly saline, with plenty of grip and energy. Fermented with wild yeasts and bottled with minimal intervention, it's a brilliant match for spiced dishes, hard cheeses or charcuterie. Serve slightly chilled and let it open up.

Caroline Gimenez works her Loire vines with care and very little fuss, letting the fruit do the talking. The 2024 vintage comes from schist and clay-limestone soils, farmed naturally, with grapes picked by hand when they're perfectly ripe. Vinification is gentle: whole bunches, native yeasts, no heavy extraction and barely a touch of sulphur. What you get is a bright, juicy red bursting with crunchy red berries, a floral lift and a peppery twist on the finish. Serve it slightly chilled with charcuterie, grilled veg or a Sunday roast chicken. Honest, thirst-quenching and genuinely fun to drink.

A skin-contact Alsatian white that plays by its own rules. Pierre Weber, working his family vines on the sun-soaked slopes around Hunawihr, lets the grapes macerate with their skins for several days, drawing out colour, texture and a gentle grip you won't find in a classic Alsace white. Expect aromas of dried apricot, orange peel, honeyed herbs and a whisper of spice, carried by a dry, savoury finish. Vinified with minimal intervention and plenty of patience, the 2024 is fresh, lively and full of character. Pour it with spiced tagines, hard cheeses or charcuterie — and watch sceptics become fans.

A bright, juicy Pinot Noir from the heart of Alsace, crafted by Pierre Weber on clay-limestone slopes that give the fruit real freshness. Think crunchy red cherry, wild strawberry and a touch of spice, with silky tannins that make it easy to love from the very first sip. The grapes are hand-picked, gently de-stemmed and fermented at low temperature to keep all that lovely fruit intact, before a short ageing that preserves its energy. Serve it lightly chilled with charcuterie, roast chicken or a mushroom tart. Honest, vibrant and beautifully drinkable — you'll want a second bottle.

A benchmark white Burgundy from one of Meursault's most respected names. Dominique Lafon works his vines with biodynamic care, picking by hand and keeping yields low, so every bunch arrives full of flavour. The 2022 vintage comes from parcels around the Côte de Beaune, where limestone-rich soils give the wine its lovely tension. Fermented and aged in oak barrels on fine lees, it's rounded without being heavy. Expect ripe citrus, white peach and a hint of hazelnut, all carried by a fresh, saline finish. Brilliant with roast chicken, creamy risotto or simply on its own. Drinking beautifully now, and happy to wait a few years.

Straight from the Jura, this is one of those bottles that makes you smile before you've even finished the first glass. Anne and Jean-François Ganevat farm their old vines biodynamically, with real care for soil life and very little fuss in the cellar — wild yeasts, gentle extraction, barely any sulphur. The result? A juicy, playful red built on Jurassien varieties and a few surprises blended in, all crunchy red berries, wild herbs and a lively mineral streak from those limestone and marl soils. Serve it slightly chilled with charcuterie, roast chicken or just good company. Honest, drinkable and full of personality.

Pour it slightly chilled alongside charcuterie, roast poultry or a simple mushroom risotto, and you'll see what the fuss is about.

Born in Verzy, a grand cru village on the Montagne de Reims, this is Champagne with real character.

Crafted in Meursault by a grower whose family has quietly shaped the village for generations, this white Burgundy punches well above its appellation.

Fermentation and ageing take place in oak barrels, only a small share new, letting the fruit speak first. Expect a bright nose of citrus, white peach and hazelnut, a silky texture and that saline, mineral finish typical of the Côte de Beaune. Lovely now with roast chicken or grilled fish, and happy to wait a few years.

Picture a Chardonnay from the heart of the Côte d'Or, grown on limestone-rich slopes just outside Meursault.

Expect white peach, citrus zest and a touch of hazelnut, with that saline, chalky finish Burgundy lovers chase. Pour it with roast chicken, soft cheeses or simply on its own. Great value for a wine with this much personality and pedigree.

The result is supple, juicy and beautifully drinkable, with fine tannins and a savoury finish. Perfect with roast poultry, charcuterie or a Sunday lunch with friends.

Deep in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley, Maher Harb farms old indigenous vines without chemicals, letting the mountain limestone and high altitude do the talking. This native white grape, planted on terraced slopes, gives you something you won't find anywhere else: golden stone fruit, dried herbs, a whisper of orange peel and a saline finish that keeps you coming back. Hand-picked, fermented with wild yeasts, aged quietly with minimal sulphur and no fining. The result is textured, honest and gently wild, with a grip that loves grilled fish, mezze or roast chicken. If you're curious about ancient grapes made the natural way, start here.

Crafted by one of Burgundy's most respected family estates, this red shows just how much charm Pinot Noir can offer without the big price tag.

Gentle winemaking and a light touch of oak keep the fruit front and centre: think ripe cherry, wild strawberry and a hint of forest floor. The tannins are silky, the finish clean and moreish. Lovely with roast chicken, charcuterie or a simple mushroom risotto. Easy to drink now, happy to wait a few years too.
