White wine
100% Chenin Blanc
From Les Cailloux vineyard
12-months in old oak barrels
** Order limit applies | Restrictive quantities **

From soils rich in schist and quartz that imparts stony, pebble-y minerality to the final wine. This year it's crisper but also more vertical and deeper. Very elegant and perfumed, but also taut and electric. Stone fruits, lemon rind, honeysuckle, white flowers, pear and beeswax abound. Sleek, weightless and airy, an archetype of purity, typicity and delicacy. The wine builds and builds, turning more focused and levitating with time, finishing with a delicate salinity.

White wine
100% Chenin Blanc
From Les Cailloux and Clos des Plantes parcels
Aged in tanks

From 30-years old vines on predominantly schist soil around Montbenault, and oh-so-very-very-pretty. Talcum powder, honeysuckle, pears, lilies, lemon rind, it's bracingly clean and cooling, but also silky, oozing plenty of class. The longer it airs, more elegance looms, then blooms into an archetype of Chenin at its purest, finest and most alluring.

Red wine
Gamay
12-15 days whole-bunch maceration
18 months ageing in 500-L, 300-L and 228-L used barrels
** Order limit applies | Restrictive quantities **

A blend of all of Chauvet’s most beautiful gamay terroirs from the historic, steep hillsides of Boudes. Very deep nose and expansive. Unpacking it reveals smoke, a noble reduction, cassis, cherries, dried rose petals, pine needles and Sichuan peppercorns. Undefinably complex and intense, but also spherical and levitational, turning vaporous in the mouth as time goes by. A mind-bending Gamay and the class of the cellar with a magnificent cellaring upside. Basalt reigns supreme here with different types of marls, mostly blue. Only 1.5 g/HL of SO2 added prior to bottling. Wow!

Red wine
Gamay (d’Auvergne & Beaujolais)
Whole-bunches maceration in large stainless steel tanks
9 months ageing in old barrels followed by 9 more months in bottle

A lifted, briary, slightly spicy dark berries nose with a touch of copper. Juicy with translucent flavours, with a creamy core, and an airy mouthfeel. There is a mineral drive and intensity that belie its open-knit structure, and the wine continues to put on flesh with air. Pretty, and far from simple. From predominantly red clay soils laden with iron oxide and limestone. Only 1 g/HL of SO2 added prior to bottling.
