Fresh herbs

Ripe apple and pear, with a walnut note and fresh herbs at the end. It feels rounded in the mouth, with lively freshness keeping each sip bright. Open it when the conversation starts on the balcony and carries on into the evening.

You'll notice the fresh herbal finish after the ripe fruit.

If you like rounded, dry whites with lively freshness and a herbal finish, start here.

AT THE TABLE

Sea bass with parsley butter

The rounded feel suits the butter and the fresh herbs meet the parsley.

SOMETHING SIMPLE

Roast cauliflower with almonds

Nutty notes echo the almonds and the rounded fruit suits the roasted edges.

FOR SHARING

Chicken and courgette pasta

There is enough body for the chicken and enough freshness for the vegetables.

Also good

Try a pear and walnut salad; those flavours meet the ripe fruit and nutty edge in the glass.

Skip

A sweet caramel dessert would hide the fresh herbal finish.

Pierre & Antonin: Two friends, resistant grapes and a different southern future

Pierre Caizergues and Antonin Bonnet met in New York, but their conversation quickly returned to southern France. Both came from families rooted in local winegrowing. Their shared project now centres on disease-resistant grapes, a way to reduce vineyard treatments while making approachable natural wines. Native yeasts, careful cellar work and lighter packaging carry that practical curiosity from the vine to the bottle.

Grapes / sourcing: Disease-resistant grape varieties.
Farming: Varieties chosen to reduce the need for vineyard treatments.
Winemaking: Native yeasts and no added sulphites.
Roots: Pierre is from Malepère; Antonin from the Larzac area.
Packaging: Light glass, Roussillon cork and no aluminium capsules.
They talk about: Resilient vines, biodiversity and accessible natural wine.
