Château Tour Boisée
Marie-Claude 2019
AOP Minervois
If this wine were a dress, it would be that dark red silky marvel that makes you look and feel like a femme fatale. It's intense, but soft. It's fruity, but elegant. It's complex, but generous. In short, it's everything we love about red wine. read more
Château Pech Redon
L'Epervier 2020
AOC La Clape
Pech Redon sits by the Mediterranean, but the vibe is more Wuthering Heights than French Riviera. The estate is swept by violent winds and spectacular storms, and its wines have the same mysterious, awe-inspiring quality. L'Epervier tastes like a violent passion feels. read more
Bakkanali
Rosso
IGT Toscana
Ever heard of the difference between an introvert and an extrovert? That's what Bakkanali Rosso is all about. It's vibrant, fresh, almost flamboyant — but after a few minutes sipping on it, you'll find a depth you didn't expect. It took us by surprise, and we loved it. read more
Château Pech Redon
L'Eperon 2022
Vin de France
Languedoc
"Eperon" is the French word for "spur", and we definitely did not hold our horses when tasting this wine. Which is a pity, because it's actually even better the next day. If you ever forget it in a carafe overnight, we'll call that a happy accident. read more
Domaine Haute Févrie
Château Thébaud 2019
AOC Muscadet Sèvres et Maine
Drinking this ice-cold Muscadet is like plunging into a mountain lake. It's so fresh, it gives you goosebumps. Your best bet to survive on a terrace under the scorching summer sun. read more
Domaine Sibille
Chardonnay 2022
IGP Pays d'Oc
Domaine Sibille is the estate that red-pilled us about the real taste of Chardonnay. There's nothing but the truth of what the grapes taste like in this bottle. Beware: once you go there, there's no way back.

Santei
Merlot 2020
Primorska Slovenija
Character-wise, this wine is a tightrope walker. Yes, it has the structure and fruitiness of a Merlot, but with a distinct acidity that makes it beautifully balanced. It will probably age very well, but at the rate we’re drinking it, we’ll never know. And we’re not exactly sorry about that. read more
Domaine des Escaravailles
La Ponce 2020
AOP Rasteau
Close your eyes and think of Provence: the cicadas are chirping, and the air smells of thyme and pine needles—as rich and heady as incense. This is what hits you when you open a bottle of La Ponce. It's definitely intense. But it makes you feel alive. read more
Domaine de la Bonne Tonne
Dames de Coeur 2022
AOP Morgon
In the mva team's lingo, we call this "glug-glug wine" — meaning it's pleasant, as comforting as your softest favourite sweater. So easy, so good, your glass magically empties. You can go there without a second thought. read more
Domaine La Piffaudière
Sauvignon 2022
AOP Touraine
"Now we're talking!" — those were the exact words of one of our blind tasters when she first tasted La Piffaudière. And she was right: this wine has an "oomph" factor you wouldn't expect in a Sauvignon Blanc. Simply delicious. read more
Domaine de Trépaloup
Viognier 2022
IGP Cévennes
Ever felt that sublime sense of freedom and lightness when reaching the panorama at the end of a hike? Trépaloud’s Viognier feels exactly like that. It’s fresh. It’s fragrant. It’s exhilarating. read more
Château de Vaux - Vignobles Molozay
Septentrion 2022
AOC Moselle
“Septentrion” is an old French word for “North”. We’re indeed headed to the North of France, where this wine was crafted contrary to all our expectations. We expected fruitiness, but it’s dry. We expected Riesling, but it’s a blend of other grapes. Oh well, it’s delicious anyway. read more
Pierre Talayrach
L'Original 2022
IGP Côtes Catalanes
When Pierre Talayrach talks about red wine, he takes on an air of deep concentration. “Red wines are tricky. They require love. They require patience.” Well, if the result of this patience is a wine as good as L’Original, we’re not leaving the line. Ever. read more
Domaine de Trépaloup
Le Clos des Oliviers 2022
AOP Sommières
This wine is like an elf in The Lord of the Rings: wild, yet tender. Raw, yet elegant. Dangerous, yet beautiful. It feels like it came from an enchanted place — one we're not sure we'd want to escape. read more
Château Les Croisille
Calcaire 2021
AOP Cahors
We're in the presence of royalty. Malbec from Cahors was later transplanted to other terroirs — Argentina above all — raising this grape to worldwide fame. Calcaire is like a king walking the land incognito: cloaked in rusticity, but with the elegance of a true monarch in their stride. read more
Santei
Malvazija 2020
Primorska Slovenija
Malvazija (pronounced mahl-vah-zee-ah) is a skin-contact wine, meaning the crushed grapes fermented with their skins, giving it its deep amber colour. It's as complex and mysterious as Klimt's red-haired portraits: seductive, with a hint of danger. read more
Château Pech Redon
Centaurée 2022
AOC La Clape
"We want flesh for fantasy", sings Billy Idol. That's what we got with Centaurée: the most unusual, sensual, fruity white wine we've ever curated, and a unanimous team favourite. We're still wondering if anything will ever have more nerve — so we keep looking. read more
Josette & Michel
Chardox 2022
Vin de France
Chardox is like a collab between Chopin and Kings of Leon. Bear with us; we promise this metaphor is going somewhere: Burgundy grapes were vinified in Tarn, a region with a completely different identity. Could have been a disaster. Turns out it's one of the best Chardonnays we've ever had. read more
Château Romanin
Grand Vin Rouge 2018
AOP Les Baux-de-Provence
Romanin was once a place devoted to Artemis, goddess of the night skies, and the estate’s Grand Vin Rouge could be our North Star. It has the authority, the consistency and effortless gallantry of an unbeatable classic. read more
Mevi
Blend Gran Reserva 2021
Maipú - Mendoza
Tasting this wine is like listening to Muse's version of Feeling Good. Three grapes, three different vibes: smooth jazz, an alt-rock guitar, and that orchestral dimension that became the band's signature. Now that's a good blend. read more
La Vigilia
Cabernet Franc 2022
Uco Valley - Mendoza
La Vigilia is a bridesmaid who stole the show. Normally, Cabernet Franc is used in blends, bringing tension and acidity to other grapes. But here, it stands on its own — and its irreverence is quite irresistible. read more
Domaine Dal Canto
Blanc Canon 2023
IGP Alpilles
"Canon" is a slang word for "stunner" in French — which made us laugh when we pulled the bottle out of its black sleeve after the tasting, because it kind of is. Dry, fresh, with just the right amount of bitterness. This wine is definitely in its party era. read more
Domaine Marcel Couturier
Pouilly-Loché 2022
Pouilly-Loché
Mâconnais - Burgundy
Funny how sometimes we find every aroma but grape in wines. But Marcel Couturier's Pouilly-Loché takes you straight back to sweet, enchanted childhood memories: it's like eating grapes fresh off the vines. read more
Pierre Talayrach
Lumière de Pierre 2022
IGP Côtes Catalanes
We thought we knew what Viognier tasted like. Turns out Lumière de Pierre proved us wrong. This is a wine whose icy beauty is like the winter sun: distant, almost austere, but electrifying. read more
Domaine Marcel Couturier
Macon-Loché "Les longues terres" 2022
Mâcon-Loché
Sipping on this wine while listening to Hooverphonics' Mad About You should be considered a life goal: a fresh, clean voice on a languid rhythm. It's like those two were made for each other. read more
Benoit Chauveau
Pouilly Fumé La Charmette 2023
Pouilly-Fumé
This Sauvignon Blanc is a smooth criminal. Comes unannounced, turns your life upside down, and leaves too soon. Better have another bottle on standby. read more
Domaine Jocelyn Raoux
Tradition Rouge 2022
Lirac
"That's not for the faint of heart," said a winemaker friend, eyebrows raised, when tasting this for the first time. Jocelyn Raoux's Tradition is like a fairy-tale giant: listening, benevolent, but it might still eat you for fun. read more
Château Romanin
Grand Vin Rosé 2023
AOP Les Baux-de-Provence
Rosé wine, or youth potion? We don’t really know. Let’s have another glass to make sure. read more
Domaine Boudau
Henri Boudau 2023
AOP Côtes du Roussillon
"I have a pretty similar wine at home — pity, because I definitely like this one much better," said a friend, glass in hand, during an apéritif we hosted. Familiar, yet ever surprising: Henri Boudau is a wine that has only grown on us. read more
Domaine Galy
Pech Saint Jean 2022
AOP Cabardès
Pech Saint Jean is shrouded in the same mystery as the marine creatures fossilized in the soil beneath the estate — sculptural forms with strangely fascinating powers. This wine infuses us with memories belonging to the ages. read more
Frédéric Berne
Aux Vergers 2023
Beaujolais Lantignié
In a novel, this wine would be the lovable, loyal side-character who ends up with their first love at the end. Simple and loyal never tasted this good. read more
Manzone
La Marchesa 2021
Barbera d'Alba Superiore
We once went to Manzone's estate with a friend who said they did not like red wine. They tasted La Marchesa. Now, they're a convert. read more
Mainova
Moinante 2023
Vinho regional alentejano
Unpopular opinion: wines whose nose and palate are a world apart are the best. By that definition, Moinante is one hell of a good wine. read more
Grains d'Estuaire
Arcane 2023
IGP Charentais
France is not a big country, but even to the French, the Charentais appellation is far-off and forlorn to the point of exotism. Yet, this wine might just be its ultimate saving grace. read more
Fanciulle
Villaggio 2021
IGT Toscana
Fanciulle is like that one true friend you feel you saw just yesterday, even though it's been a year. It's a conversation that never ends, yet never dulls — a piece of the magic in daily life. read more
Villa Tolnay
Csobancz Cabernet Franc 2020
Balatoni
Villa Tolnay's Cabernet Franc is like a Beethoven symphony: it takes you through every nuance of emotion, some of which you never knew you could feel. read more
