NEW ARRIVALS | October 2024

Sparkling Rosé (pét-nat) | Agrafe (staple) closure
Pinot Noir & Gamay
12-months on-lees in bottle
Disgorged and stapled by hand

Fresh and floral — and oh so pretty. Raspberry, watermelon, rosehip, crème fraiche. Just the slightest touch of sweetness to round off the finish. Tonic and So. Damned. Delicious. Hard not to love this. No SO2 added.

Red wine
100% Gamay
Hand-destemmed
Aged in French oak demi-muid for 10 months

110-years old selection massage gamay at 500 meters of altitude, exposed south-east on marno-calcareous soil. Cherry, raspberry, spices, alpine herbs, a breeze of fir, a touch of smoke. Sappy, fragrant, intense, complex, endlessly layered... The depth and purity is astonishing and unending. What an achievement, what a wine! Zero sulphite added.

Red wine
100% Gamay
Whole-bunch fermented
15-days maceration

Flagship red of Cyran's, and no wonder: soft, caressing and creamy aromas of blue and red berries which repeat in the palate culminating in silky tannins, wet earth and ash undertones which line up in the finish. Plush, elegant and constantly evolving. A singular, captivating wine indeed. Zero sulphite added.

Red wine
100% Pinot Noir
Whole-bunch fermented
15-days maceration

From a 0.6-ha in Bouligny. Wet earth precedes a densely fruited core — cherry, cola, rhubarb, blackberry. Quite intense and focused, turning more open-knit with air. A solid core promises a wonderful evolution in the cellar too. Zero sulphite added.

Red wine
100% Gamay
Whole-bunch fermented
20-days maceration

A fascinating soil-inflected wine: savoury, earthy with a slight reductive note to start. Turns creamier with air, at the time when fruitiness — pomegranate, raspberry — begins to ascend as well, interlaced with petrichor. Superb sense of place. Textural, constantly evolving and totally free. Beautiful. Zero sulphite added.

White wine | Crown cap
Riesling | Skin-contact
Whole-bunch fermented
3-months maceration on skin

A singular wine. Complex aromatics — preserved lemon, marmalade, lime zest, wet stones. Deep and penetrating yet remarkably light with layered flavours of passionfruit, young pineapple commingling. Utterly singular and a convincing case for skin-contact Riesling. Zero sulphite added.

White wine | Crown-cap
Sylvaner | Skin-contact
Whole-bunch fermented
1-month maceration on skin

Zero sulphite added.

White wine | Crown cap
Sylvaner, Pinot Blanc & Chasselas | Skin-contact
Whole-bunch fermented
5-days maceration on skin

Wild aromatics: spicy, zesty and yeasty. Saline stone fruits, a splash of Meyer lemon and a hint of white pepper on the palate. Delicious and light-footed. Super refreshing, yet complex. Zero sulphite added.

White wine | Crown cap
Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc | Skin-contact
Whole-bunch fermented
5-days maceration on skin

Unusual rose-copper hue. Dry, brisk, broad, with a unique textural, gourmand quality, and salinity. Lovely inner-mouth perfume: floral, spicy, citrus-zesty. Substantial yet so light on its feet. Dangerously quaffable for a gastronomic wine. Zero sulphite added.

Red wine
25% each of Pineau d’Aunis, Grolleau Noir, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon
Whole-bunch pressed
8-months ageing

The first for this unique blended cuvée that takes advantage of the growing season – mature fruits but not alcoholic. Perhaps a quintessential red Loire. Floral, fresh but also fleshy, gently structured and appetising as always. Charming, with lovely vivacity, and also serious in the right places. No SO2 added.

Red wine
100% Cabernet Franc
Whole-bunch ferment
8-months in barrels

White wine
100% Chenin Blanc
20% skin-contact
80% direct press

Brilliant medium gold. Orange zesty nose, stony and very lifted. Intensely penetrating on the palate with broad, deep and long perfectly ripened whiplash of citrusy acidity that leaves the palate quivering and constantly salivating. Taut and focused and should develop immense complexity on the nose with a little bit more time; all the brilliant stuffing is in there waiting to emerge. Remarkably energetic and palate-coating Chenin. Bravo! No sulphite added.

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.
