Aubert & Mathieu Kate Sauvignon Blanc

Friends since school, Anthony Aubert & Jean-Charles Mathieu challenged themselves to create a range of wines in their image, by bringing a touch of originality and modernity to their cuvées. Created in 2018, they are part of an eco-conscious approach, more transparent and more sustainable. This commitment is evident from the vine to the bottle with organic cuvées or in conversion.

Carbon neutrality is the brand’s primary commitment.
In 2022, 70% of all the cuvées will be certified by an environmental label.
Eco-responsible packaging comprehends recycled and lightweight glass bottles, sustainable caps, labels and boxes.
Sustainable viticulture makes possible to plant hundreds of trees each year works and to safeguard and protect the bees, its environment and the beekeeping heritage of Languedoc.

“Tired of our respective professional lives, we left everything to pursue a slightly crazy dream: to create wines like us, a little unconventional and offbeat” – Anthony Aubert & Jean-Charles Mathieu 

Certified Organic Agriculture, KATE is a surprising, fresh and elegant wine. It develops notes of exotic fruits and a nice length. With its Pop side, this little Sauvignon will charm your taste buds.

Blanc of Black By Château Cap Léon Veyrin (100% Cabernet in white)

Family owned since 1810, the Château Cap Léon Veyrin originates from the meeting of Château Cap Léon and the Veyrin estate. Cape comes from the word “head”. In fact, the vineyards of Cap Léon are located on the highest points of Listrac-Médoc, favoring natural drainage and ideal sunshine. Nathalie and Julien Meyre, are the 6th generation of the family running this property, perpetuate the tradition: predominance of Merlot, collage with egg white, aging of 12 months in barrels, manual harvesting for young parcels and for old vines, while bringing their dynamism to this renowned Cru Bourgeois du Médoc.

2023 is the second vintage of this new white wine made with black grapes: this is Julien’s challenge with plots 353 and 38. Why these plots? Inherited from his grandfather, overlooking the river and enjoying an exceptional climate, they combine all the qualities for the development of a great wine.

This wine is aged in stainless steel tanks and recalls the «Heavy metal» note of its winemaker. Freshness and vivacity in the mouth, resonate like a Hard Rock album. The notes of white peaches dance delicately in the finish like a romantic stroll. An atypical wine in its shape and fruit.

Les Charmilles du Roy Vin de France Bordeaux

Originally from Schönberg, in the Rhineland, fleeing the consequences of the defeat of Napoleon I, the Yung family origins settled for more than a century in Algeria. Already listed in the first edition of Féret des Vins d’Oranie in 1886, the family developed its vineyard until independence, until forced to abandon the wine estates it had owned since 1859.

In 1862 Charles Young joined his older brother, already settled in Gironde. He then decides to acquire for his 2 children and his 2 nephews, the Château Haut Mondain, a 42-hectare AOC Bordeaux wine estate, followed then by Château Barail, Les Hauts de Palette and Moulin de Tassin.

Since 2020, the Charles Yung & Fils vineyards have been committed to a societal and environmental approach by obtaining High Environmental Value, level 3 (HVE) certification.

When life gives you Oranges Vin de France

When life gives you Oranges… make Orange Wine!

Ok – so it isn’t made with oragens, but when you catch that first whiff, this wine leaps out of the glass with a delicious zing and aroma of orange blossom.
Made with Muscat, Grenache Blanc and Viognier, the skin contact is relatively short with full skin contact for just 5 days. Whilst the colour has a lovely oragne hue, it isn’t bright orange – “Ceci n’est pas une Orange” as Magritte would say…
