£31.00
A Wine That
makes us smile and nod as soon as someone brings it to the table. The kind of wine that's both linear and giving at the same time; there's a salty, mineral tang, but also a shimmery body. A wine you can't help but smell with every sip, to try to wrap your head around it.

The Winemaker: Les Dolomies
Céline & Steve Gormally live in the village of Passenans, in the Jura. Their house backs directly onto a vegetable garden where their donkeys and ducks also live. They farm their Savagnin, Chardonnay, Pinot, Poulsard & Trousseau according to biodynamic & permaculture principles and make wine with minimal intervention.
"Having different elements such as trees and a pond attract different insects and birds – another type of fauna and flora – which improves the diversity of the ecosystem."
