Description
The 12.5 hectare domaine has recently passed from father to son and the changing of the guard has brought a new philosophy to teh winemaking. Farming is done with respect for nature and follows the principles of organic farming. Yields are kept low through the use of cover crops and severe pruning and all the vines are harvested by hand, and only indigenous yeasts are used for the fermentation. Jérôme’s father sold all of his wine to the local cooperative but Jérôme is now estate bottling his entire production.
The grapes for this wine go through rigourous selection in the vineyard, ensuring only the healthiest bunches make it to the winery. They are foot trodden to enable a delicate extraction and then fermented using indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged in oak for 10 months before bottling. Charming and very approachable in it’s youth, this delightful Pinot is brimming with fresh red fruits, hints of tobacco and spice alongside refreshing acidity on the finish. Delicious now but will continue to develop for a couple of years.

2023 Beaujolais Villages ‘Cuvee Six’, Caves De Julienas Chaintre
Gamay
The Beaujolais Villages 'Cuvee Six' from Caves De Julienas Chaintre just gets better and better with each vintage, showing soft, rounded red fruits and vibrant cherry flavours. Complex enough to make one sit up and think yet easy going and supple at the same time. Great for lighter lunches and it can also be chilled lightly when the weather warms up!

2023 Gamay, Domaine Moulin Camus, IGP Loire
Gamay
This 100% Gamay from Domaine Moulin Camus comes from grapes grown on a slope of pure mica schist which gives the wine juicy, rounded red fruits a bit of tautness and minerality. A warmer than normal, sulphur free maceration for three days helps bring out some warmth and roundness to the fruit, making it slightly beaujolais'esque but without the bubble gum/commercial edge that one would normally find in this price range.
