🍁Due to their aesthetic subtlety (both inside and outside) Sebastién Cornille’s bottles sometimes get overlooked in favour of more flashy selections in our Loire section. Big mistake! These wines from the northernmost outskirts of winegrowing in the Loire are some of the most profound we’ve got. ⚡️Aside from Cornille’s kaleidoscopic and hyper-tense Chenins from Jasnières he crafts two aromatically mesmerizing Pineau d’Aunis-based reds. Tightly-laced and tongue-tingling in their youth, these wines need some time to loosen up and push their aromatic range from crunchy-funky forest berries into a spectrum of mysterious black tea-undergrowth-witch’s lair aromas. 🍷‘La Guinguette’ is Sebastién’s least cerebral cuvée, but no simple vin de soif. On the palate the 2018 is juicier than previous vintages, but retains a refreshingly green and mineral side that’s augmented by the slight spritz of trapped CO2. An invigorating and decidedly ‘northern’ red wine. 🍇70% Pineau d’Aunis, 20% Gamay and 10% Cabernet Franc from 30+ year old, biodynamically farmed vines in the Coteaux du Loire. Clay over limestone, yields 25 hl/ha. 🩸20-day semi-carbonic maceration in tank, parts destemmed and whole-cluster depending on the vintage. After pressing the Pineau d’Aunis and Cab Franc are aged in old barrels and the Gamay in tank. Bottled partially filtered with just a touch of added sulphites.

Just a few bottles of @animamundi_celler’s ‘Pells’ 2018 left before we move to 2019! This gorgeous 90-day maceration of Macabeo from Penedes has now evolved from spritzy-yeasty funk to near-Burgundian elegance and precision, subtle but soul-stirring. Pitch-perfect balance of fat, acid and salinity, an absolutely riviting drink right now. #agustiatroca #animamundi #penedes #macabeo #amphora #orangewine #naturalwine

FRENCH LIGHT REDS BOX     🍁One for the fans! Six bottles of featherweight French reds that each in their own way balance light and bright fruit with earthy and gamey notes. Best served lightly chilled, of course. 100,- Euros, link in bio!     🍇Precise and mineral-laced Fleurie from Christophe Pacalet’s newly acquired, high-altitude vineyard ‘Les Labourons’. 🍇Short-maceration, high-intensity unsulphured Grolleau from Savennières wizard Clement Baraut.  Enticingly layered sylvan aromas on the nose, tart forest berries on the palate. 🍇Alsatian Pinot Noir by Antoine Kreydenweiss, tight and linear Pinot fruit framed by black tea and wet earth. 🍇Juicy and extremely layered Pinot Noir/Piot Meunier blend from Orléans, unique wine by the young Amandine et Quentin. 🍇Profoundly Southern but weightless Syrah/Carignan by Jean-Philippe Padié. Packed with violets, garrigue and black pepper but clocking in at a mere 12,5% alcohol. 🍇Uniquely aromatic Tannat/Cabernet Franc blend from le Sud-Ouest by biodynamic priestess Céline Oulié.      #christophepacalet #fleurie #gamay #clementbaraut #grolleau #anjou #antoinekreydenweiss #pinotnoir #alsace #chaiamandineetquentin #pinotnoir #pinotmeunier #orléans #jeanphilippepadie #domainepadie #calce #roussillon #syrag #carignan #celineoulie #closlesmetsdames #cabernetfranc #tannat #madiran

🍯End of our ‘Rejane’ 19 stock is dangerously near! Sad to say, because this 2 week maceration of Semillon from Dordogne is really going places. We found a bottle that had been uncorked for a week and it had opened up unexpected registers of Sauternes-like honeyed bliss while retaining all of its saline vibrancy. 🍇Vinification: Organically farmed Semillon on clay-limestone soil. 15-day maceration of whole bunches in steel tank, vinification and aging in terracotta jars. Bottled 6-7 months later, unfined and unfiltered with about 15 mg/l of added sulphites. 🍵Amber-hued with subtle aroma’s of white pepper, black tea, spice, dried yellow fruit and chamomile. Round and delicately tannic, with a gorgeous mid-palate packed with quince, baked apple and honey. #domainedelastre #domainedelastré #dordogne #semillon #sémillon #naturalwine #orangewine #biodynamie

Still mesmerized by the purity, delicacy and approachability of Jean-Claude Rateau’s wines. Fabulous showing by the red Beaune 1er Crus this weekend. 🍓‘Les Reversées’ 2017 crystalline, featherweight and exceedingly precise, a laser-guided shot of radiant and mineral-tinged red fruit. Pure class. 🥓‘Les Bressandes’ 2016 a good bit more ripe and burly, but with the same elegantly transparent framing. Buoyant and velvety but packed with savoury dark fruit, spice and smoke. 🍷Only a couple cases of each left. Entry-level appellations are almost sold out, but a big restock is on its way. #jeanclauderateau #jclauderateau #domainerateau #beaune #premiercru #lesbressandes #lesreversees #pinotnoir #biodynamie #biodynamicwine #bourgogne #burgundy

In which all elements have lined up beautifully, and that have developed a nice bit of complexity while retaining loads of energy at their core. 🍁Perfect stuff for autumnal drinking.

Revamped line-up of Clément Baraut wines! Cracking Savennières and two beautiful manifestations of old vine Grolleau. 🍁‘Herbes Rouges’ 2019 is a short-maceration, high-intensity unsulphured Grolleau in the glou++ category, meaning that it is made to be a lightly chilled quaffer but it’s got such enticingly layered sylvan aromas that you’ll be sniffing your glass for half an hour before even taking a sip. ⚡️‘Le Pitrouillet’ 2019 is a highly digestible but age-worthy Chenin and a good bit more bright and linear than the plump 2017 vintage we stocked before. 100% botrytis-free grapes from 50 year-old vines that Baraut adopted from Nicolas Joly. Only ‘coeur de presse’, fermented and aged in old barrels, completely unsulphured (this particular vintage, Baraut is no fundamentalist). 🐗‘Perrières’ 2016 is an absolute beast of an 85 year-old vine Grolleau. Miserably mousey from the moment it came in ‘till just a couple of months ago, when it emerged from our storage GORGEOUSLY DEVELOPED and completely stable! This is no simple glug-stuff: it’s a deep and muscular wine for when it’s cold outside and there’s some gamey cooking going on. #realwine

Wines of the Month October: Domaine Breton! 🍇To celebrate Janneke’s return from her winemaking stint at @catherineetpierrebreton and as a thank you to her generous hosts, we’re putting ALL the domaine’s wines in the spotlight. That means a 10% discount on all 10 different cuvées and vintages on our shelves! 🍷It would also mean that we’d have lots of open Breton bottles to taste, but unfortunately current circumstances and health considerations don’t really allow for in-store tasting.. 🔥Luckily few producers in the natural wine world have such a proven and consistent record as pioneers and world famous bon vivants Catherine and Pierre & family, so you can’t go wrong with any of their bottles. More about their domaine, its new generation and Janneke’s experiences in our upcoming newsletter! #catherineetpierrebreton #paulbreton #bourgueil #chinon #cabernetfranc #mastersof #vouvray #cheninblanc #naturalwine #biodynamie
