Autumn Rhône

This grenache, syrah and mourvedre is from a selection of old vines from this family domaine. Planted at 400-metres altitude in the Valreas region of the southern Rhone, its resulting wines are juicy, fresh and with lots of character and charm. With a bramble perfume, there is spice and supple tannins. A wine that opens up in the glass ad can be enjoyed with roast lamb and tagine.

An exciting new estate that started out under their own label in 2021, with owner and winemaker Julien d'Abrigeon having previously worked for Jean-Louis Chave, later selling him their fruit for his JL Chave Selection 'Mon Coeur' wine. With seven hectares in production and renting a cellar from Cairanne grower Domaine Richaud, this husband and wife team is on the start of their journey and the start is very promising indeed. This is bright and juicy, with red- and black-berry fruits combined with hints of black olive and aniseed. The tannins are well handled and there is vibrant core that is a nod to both their cooler sites and the vintage. A blend of grenache and syrah, and 100% de-stemmed, with the syrah coming from a higher-altitude plot in Buisson.

Lovely full-flavoured white Rhône from a village that is especially well-known for its whites. This is made mostly from old vines, producing a dry white with fennel, citrus and an attractive waxy core with a zesty profile. Thanks to the quality of its wines and wines, terroir and winemakers, Laudun gained Cru status in 2024.

Viognier thrives in its home of the Rhône Valley and this crisp, fresh and floral white has been made exclusively for us by Maison Les . Alexandrins who are based in the heart of the northern Rhône. From high-altitude vineyards in the Ardèche, expect honeysuckle, ginger and fresh apricot notes combined with a fleshy palate. This white works well with mild curries and roast chicken.

From a stony plateau to the south of the Roman city of Nîmes comes this exuberantly fruity grenache-syrah blend, offering lots of energy and crunchy fruit combined with spice and liquorice. 2025 was a juicy and accessible vintage. A perfect anyday drinking red.

From a biodynamically and organically farmed, family estate in the Côstieres de Nimes, this roussanne and viognier blend has lots of texture and character. The mistral wind native to the Rhône combined with the proximity of the vines to the Mediterranean allow the grapes to maintain plenty of freshness. Floral, peach and hints of apricot combine with quince, spice and pithiness. Plenty of fennel notes and herbs that are a nod to the garrigue of the south.
