Nov 17th: Fête Du Nouveau!

One of our favourite dates of the wine calendar is imminent: Nouveau Day! Whatever your opinion on the legitimacy of the day - (it's tricky to pin down the beginnings of a mostly undocumented harvest ritual when it has been eclipsed in modern memory by one of the longest-running marketing gimmicks of all time...) we believe in promoting the notion that properly made primeur wines really are a joy to drink as originally intended: in celebration of a year's work.

On Thursday 17th November, we'll be pulling corks on the 2022 Nouveau from Sylvere & Mathilde at Séléné, with an à la carte feasting menu packed with oysters, cheese baked until loose and yielding, and large pots of comforting stew.

2022 was a year snatched from the jaws of defeat in the Beaujolais, a brutal drought broken by heavy rains right before harvest giving our winemakers just enough fruit and freshness to make the styles of wine the region is famed for. The relief is palpable after the frosts and mildew of 2021.

Please join us by booking a table and settling in for a night celebrating hard work, and easeful wines.
