This week we're pleased to welcome back more of our favourite wines from the Gard.

Courtesy of both the the Moulin brothers at Mas De La Font Ronde, and Laurent Bagnol of Mas Lau, these new arrivals represent some of the most characterful, soulful low/zero sulphur wines available for their price.

All too often, wines at this price are made by larger producers, working at huge volumes, sometimes with machines in the vineyard and compromises in the cellar.

It's a privilege to be able to support true Paysan Vignerons like these, custodians of their land and tradition.

Yves & Vincent converted their farm, Mas De La Font Ronde to organics nearly 20 years ago. Farmers first - growing wheat, potatoes and chickpeas, they have 25 hectares under vine.

Tucked in the garrigues on clay-limestone, their international varieties are sold to the local co-op, whilst Vincent concentrates his efforts in the cellar working with the traditional local varieties. The Moulin family have been farming in the village of Villevieille for over 300 years. Quintessential vigneron paysan!

Working gently and simply, they produce great value, charming wines that are always a treat to have back on the list.
