- Domaine Marius Bielle | Mosaique Wines
Domaine Marius Bielle was founded in the 1940s by Damien’s grandfather, the domaine’s namesake, in Lalande-de-Pomerol. In this area, a grape maligned in other wine growing regions is seen as the king. Here, Merlot rules them all. DOMAINE MARIUS BIELLE Lalande-de-Pomerol, Bordeaux Organic Revue des Vins de France The face of Bordeaux is changing. For a region so steeped in wine history, the pace is perhaps slower than other regions, however the Bordeaux our parents knew is quietly beginning to share the spotlight with a group of energised and talented new blood, including Damien Bielle of Domaine Marius Bielle. We met Damien around a table of laughter, pizzas and of course wine. This unique character was introduced to us by Olivier from Chateau Gombaude-Guillot, both young rising stars of Bordeaux who became fast friends. A passion for wine was an obvious shared connection, which has evolved into sharing a warehouse, however they also discovered a joint love of MMA fighting. Word is they’ve even fashioned a simple yet effective gym and a fighting ring in the warehouse! Domaine Marius Bielle was founded in the 1940s by Damien’s grandfather, the domaine’s namesake, in Lalande-de-Pomerol. In this area, a grape maligned in other wine growing regions is seen as the king. Here, Merlot rules them all. There are no blends, the wines are 100% Merlot, a ‘one terroir, one cepage’ approach championed by Burgundy. It is this approach that allows Damien to focus on making wines that highlight the nuances of this grape. Graduating as an agronomist engineer, he went onto oenology school in Bordeaux and then worked for some of the most prestigious producers in the world - Chateau Petrus (Pomerol) and Chateau Cheval Blanc (Saint Emilion Grand Cru Classe), before finally deciding to return to the family estate to create his own expression in 2020. The process starts on the famous Pomerol soils of sand and gravel, with 13 hectares of organically farmed vineyard (certified 2021). Weaved in between the oceans of surrounding vines, you’ll find the Domaine Marius Bielle ecosystem - breaking the monotony with trees, grass and flowers growing in the vineyard, freeing space to create orchards, vegetable gardens and allowing a few animals in the vines. When vintage rolls around, the grapes are handpicked and sorted, before maceration by infusion, and a slow natural fermentation with vinification occuring in stainless steel tanks. Like a painter in his workshop, it’s a moment of focus and presence - creating a sketch of the vintage. The ‘slow but steady’ ethos continues through to aging, using concrete tanks and amphoras to gently and softly raise his Merlot. Damien grew up in contact with les “vins d’avant”, an old school style of wine in the best of ways, those wines that took the time of aging in the cellar and then in bottles before being released. This has without doubt influenced his winemaking, insisting the wines reveal themselves in time, finding their complexity along the way and without the use of sulphur, filtering or fining. We are excited to be bringing these vibrant and contemporary wines to Australia. It’s Damien’s wish that these Bordeaux wines that are opened at tables filled with laughter and good friends, enjoyed with some quality meat on the barbecue, not to be intimidating and tasted in suits and silence. He wants his wines to bring conversation. Having tasted his line up and a range of spectacular back vintages, we’re sure they will.

- Distillerie Entropie | French Alps | Mosaique Wines
Adrien Berlioz took over the family vineyards in 2006, in Chignin at 390m above sea level. With plenty of hard work alongside the pursuit of purity and a certified biodynamic approach to farming, he has grown the vineyard to 5 hectares, transforming it into one of the Savoie’s most prestigious domaines. DISTILLERIE ENTROPIE French Alps Organic certified Nestled in the Vercors mountains, a diverse and resilient flora thrives—edelweiss, mountain thyme, wild mallow, juniper, elderflower, and alpine mint among them. These plants form the backbone of Distillerie L’Entropie, founded in 2021 by lifelong friends Léa and David. After years in industry, they traded corporate careers for a life closer to their values: respect for nature, protection of biodiversity, and the joy of creating and sharing. And, it must be said, a love of skiing, hiking and all that mountain life has to offer! Their micro-distillery in the Vercors reflects this ethos, producing organic spirits that capture the vibrancy of the mountains. All botanicals are either certified organic or wild-foraged locally, with spring water from the Alps completing the foundation. Distillation takes place in “Monique,” their custom 150L copper alambic, allowing small-batch precision. Every stage, from maceration and distillation to bottling and labeling, is done by hand. Sustainability underpins their philosophy—green energy, water stewardship, water-based glue for labels, and composting byproducts through bokashi. The result is a rare collection of terroir spirits, pure and nuanced, that channel both the wild Vercors landscape and the spirit of their founders. Each spirit is a true expression of the Vercors. Vodka de Fleurs captures the delicacy of alpine blossoms, lifted with notes of mallow and elderberry. Liqueur Alpine ‘Flore du Vercors’ draws on 13 mountain plants to create a vibrant, herbaceous balance reminiscent of Chartreuse, yet uniquely its own. Gin Jeunes Pousses & Vieilles Branches brings together nine botanicals in a refreshing, juniper-led profile, layered with floral lift and mountain freshness. Pure, nuanced, and unmistakably shaped by their alpine home, these spirits are as authentic as Léa and David’s journey—a celebration of nature, friendship, and the Vercors itself.

- Domaine de Brin | Gaillac | Mosaique Wines
Damien Bonnet took over the family Domaine in 2008, his understanding of this environment is evident as he can reel off the smallest details of the surrounding 10 hectares. He wasted no time gaining organic certification and experimenting with concrete and amphora to produce a natural style of wine, DOMAINE DE BRIN Gaillac, South-West France Organic certified Revue des Vins de France: 1* star “Damien Bonnet is part of the new generation that does so much good for Gaillac. Quickly he took sharp decisions: soil work, organic, hand harvest. His demanding vision of vigneron matched with his talent allowed him to create the wines of the future, mix of hedonism and character, the taste of what they are and where they come from. A role model for Gaillac.” The Wine Front, Mike Bennie Bettane & Desseauve: 2** stars The Gaillac region is undoubtedly one of France’s oldest, and fast becoming it’s most exciting. Leading the charge is Domaine de Brin, with a young gun winemaker and a revival of rare varieties. Damien Bonnet took over the family Domaine in 2008, his understanding of this environment is evident as he can reel off the smallest details of the surrounding 10 hectares. He wasted no time gaining organic certification and experimenting with concrete and amphora to produce a natural style of wine, taking biodynamic principals and lunar calendars into the process. These were significant changes for Damien and his parents, moving the farm from selling to the local coop and polyculture; to bottling and selling their own wines. South facing vines are finding their expression in calcareous and white clay soils. Sitting on the 285-metre plateau on the right bank of the Tarn river, Gaillac benefits of both Mediterranean and Atlantic unique influence. Vineyard wise, Damien is using natural weeding methods, working the soil between the vines. When needed, they use organic fertiliser including horse beans and oats to enrich the soils. His aim for the vines is to obtain an equilibrium allowing a low yield of 20-35 hl/ha with healthy and perfectly ripe grapes. Each grape variety is manually harvested at its optimum maturation. The grapes are turned into wine using natural yeasts. The maturing takes place at a slow pace according to the rhythm of the seasons, in concrete and large format old oak that is an essential part of his winemaking style.

- Thierry Navarre | Mosaique Wines
Thierry Navarre is a bit of an icon in his region of Languedoc. He is widely regarded as one of the most respected natural winemakers in the area, best known for continuing his family’s dedication to resurrecting lost and ancient grape varietals. DOMAINE THIERRY NAVARRE Saint-Chinian, Languedoc Organic Revue de Vin de France: 2 stars** “Amongst the elite of the area.” New York Times: "To Find the Best of Languedoc, Follow the Producer" 2019 Jancis Robinson: "Languedoc for terroir-driven bargains" The story of how Thierry Navarre came to be part of our Mosaique Wines offering is a long one, literally, but we’re so glad we persisted and can bring these wonderful wines to Australia. Thierry Navarre is a producer we have had in our mind for some years. We would check in every year to see if we might get a response but given he spends so much time in the vineyard, and not so much time in front of the phone or computer, it proved a difficult task. Finally, we saw a chance in March 2023 - Thierry would be at the La Dive a Bouteille Wine Fair, and so would Thomas on a flying trip to France. The trip was almost accounted for by the minute, and as the morning of the wine fair ticked by, Thierry was nowhere to be seen and Thomas needed to leave to go to another wine fair. Of course, just as Thomas was leaving, Thierry arrives already in deep conversation with someone else. Long story short, Thomas decides to be late (not a big drama for the French), and stay until he can finally meet Thierry - an encounter years in the making and instantly worth the wait. Thierry Navarre is a bit of an icon in his region of Languedoc. He is widely regarded as one of the most respected natural winemakers in the area, and his wines are celebrated for their depth, complexity, and terroir-driven flavours. Without question, Navarre is best known for continuing his family’s dedication to promoting diversity of grape varietals in the region, resurrecting lost and ancient grape varietals - most of which are lower in alcohol. Taking over from over the domaine's vineyards in 1988, Navarre is a man who lives in his vines - a patch of 15ha based in and around the picturesque village of Roquebrun (which incidentally is set to become a grand cru of Saint-Chinian). His vineyards are farmed organically and filled with a role call of both popular and yet to be discovered varieties including Œillades, Ribeyrenc, Syrah, Cinsault, Grenache noir, Carignan, Romorantin, Clairette, Grenache gris, Marsanne, Terret and Muscat à petit grains blanc. These vines have a southwest exposure, and combined with soils composed of loose brown schist, generally produce lighter, mineral driven, delicate, more elegant styles compared to the wines from further south in Saint-Chinian. His lower alcohol (11%) and brighter ‘Le Vin d’Oeillades’ (Cinsault’s cousin) and ‘Le Ribeyrenc’ are French sommelier favourites and considered a ‘best kept secret’. The grapes are hand harvested, with some fully or partially destemmed. Following a natural fermentation in cement tanks, some of the cuvees are vinified traditionally, while others are vinified with carbonic maceration. Ageing occurs in a mix of tanks, old 228 litre and 500 litre barrels and foudre for 12 months. The resulting wines are unfined, yet they are filtered and have low sulphur. Navarre’s intuition for winemaking and passion for history translate into wines sought out by true wine lovers, a discovery not to be missed that we couldn’t be more excited to share!

- Clotilde Davenne | Chablis | Mosaique Wines
In 1989, Davenne's journey in Chablis started, working for one of the region's star producers during 17 years, she gained an intimate knowledge of Chablis unique terroir and understanding of vintage styles. Then in 2005, Davenne set off on her own path to producing fantastic Chablis wines. CLOTILDE DAVENNE Chablis, Burgundy Organic non-certified Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy Allen Meadows, Burghound.com Financial Review, Max Allen Jancis Robinson & Hugh Johnson, The World Atlas of Wine Meeting Clotilde Davenne and trying all her wines from the Petit Chablis to her best Grand Cru vineyards made things very clear: she knows what she is doing. Clotilde was not from a wine family; her father was a humble farmer near the Morvan mountains. She learned how to make wine at school in 1986 and later travelled to California for vintage. In 1989, Davenne's journey in Chablis started, working for one of the region's star producers: Jean-Marc Brocard. During a incredible 17 years with mentor Brocard, she gained an intimate knowledge of unique terroir and understanding of vintage styles. Then in 2005, Davenne set off on her own path, starting with the 1.9-hectare plot of Petit Chablis called “Les Temps Perdu” (which mean the lost time). Despite locals telling her that this land was a waste of time, Davenne knew this vineyard had potential. The vines were lying on Kimmeridgian soils just like AOC Chablis terroir, only called “Petit” because of its exposition to the North. With growing self confidence, she started putting together a patchwork of vineyard expressing different grapes and terroirs, one plot of land at a time. It now includes a mosaic of beautiful vineyards: Bourgogne AOC, Petit Chablis, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru (Vaucoupin, Montmains, Fourchaume, Vaillons) and Chablis Grand Cru (Bougros, Les Clos, Blanchots), as well as 100 year old Sauvignon Blanc from Saint-Bris and Pinot Noir from Irancy. Her gamble paid off, becoming one of Chablis rising stars thanks to her hard work and the purity of her wines. Clotilde was hugely honoured to be included in Jancis Robinson and Hugh Johnson 's "The World Atlas of Wine" for one of her best vineyards: Montmains 1er Cru Chablis. Now Davenne's 40 year old Chablis vines are located in the village of Courgis, south of Chablis. The vineyard is sheltered from winds, on a steep slope of Kimmeridgian with soil, peppered with fossilised oysters from when the sea covered the Paris basin150 million years ago. Clotilde farms her vineyard naturally, without the use of chemicals, with almost all of her production is harvested by hand. You won't find any oak barrel in her cellars however, as Clotilde is a big believer of stainless steel vinification for her Chablis, focusing on purity and terroir expression. All Davenne's wines undergo malolactic fermentation for complexity, with use of the lunar calendar for racking and bottling, then light filtration.

- Champagne Vincent Couche | Mosaique Wines
His mother passed on her passion and know-how to Vincent, who is nothing short of a true perfectionist. In the vineyard or the cellar, he aims for nothing less than excellence. Couche, quite simply put, is very intimate with his vineyard thanks to biodynamic farming. CHAMPAGNE VINCENT COUCHE Côte des Bar, Champagne Biodynamic certified Bettane et Desseauve: Talent of the year 2026 The Champagne Guide, Tyson Stelzer Financial Review, Max Allen: ”A toast to the five best champagnes of 2024, Discovering Vincent Couche’s range of outstanding biodynamic champagnes was a highlight of my tasting year.” The South of Champagne has often been lost to the shining, bigger houses which dominate the north. But, if you game to venture just two hours south from Epernay, and only 1 hour from Chablis, you'll find the incredible wines of Côte des Bar. Here, fortune favours the brave, as the unique mineral style of its Champagne and the attitude of its winegrowers become equally enchanting. Once you go Bar, you never go back. It is here in the lesser-known and authentic "south" you'll find Vincent Couche - grower, vigneron, artisan. His mother passed on her passion and know-how to Vincent, who is nothing short of a true perfectionist. In the vineyard or the cellar, he aims for nothing less than excellence. Couche, quite simply put, is very intimate with his vineyard. He knows each vine, each plot of land, each slope, farming all 13 hectares biodynamically cross two terroirs: Buxeuil and Montguex. Buxeuil covers 10 hectares, with mostly Pinot Noir around the village where his cave is located, with steep slopes overlooking the Seine river. Soils are composed of limestone-clay and marl-clay according to each parcel, with high density to increase competition between the vines, resulting in berries with better maturity and flavour profile. His second terroir is in Montgueux Chardonnay kingdom, 48 min north-west near Troyes, with 3 hectares of Chardonnay on chalk dating back from the Cretaceous period. . Vincent continuously studies the needs of his vines, supplying the energy they need using only biodynamic treatments. His preparations include medicinal plant treatments, cow-horn manure, pulverisation of crystallised silica and natural compost. His aim through biodynamic farming is to express the richness and complexity of his land to its full potential. Harvest is strictly by hand, sorted directly in the vineyard, with only ripe and healthy berries reaching the cellar to be pressed. Alcoholic fermentation uses only natural yeast, followed by vinification with little or no sulphites in partial or full barrel.

- La Colombiere | Fronton | Mosaique Wines
Just 30 mins north of Toulouse, some of France’s rarest vines are painstakingly nursed back from extinction by husband and wife team Diane and Philippe Cauvin. The pair is living their dream, crafting wines from a regional variety: Negrette, which is native to their area of Fronton. LA COLOMBIERE Fronton, South-West France Biodynamic certified Revue des Vins de France: 1* star “This emblematic domaine of Fronton produce wines that are singular and digest. Diane and Philippe Cauvin chosed biodynamic farming since 2006 (certified 2012). The style of La Colombiere wines is balanced, fine and subtle, with no make-up or never overdone. Model of personal vision they represent a precious benchmark for the growth of the Fronton appellation.” Bettane & Desseauve: 2** stars The Wine Front, Mike Bennie Just 30 mins north of Toulouse, some of France’s rarest vines are painstakingly nursed back from extinction by husband and wife team Diane and Philippe Cauvin. The pair is living their dream, crafting wines from a regional variety: Negrette, which is native to their area of Fronton. Diane took the reigns of the family estate after learning viticulture and completing a tour de force throughout French vineyards including Burgundy. The first and perhaps the most significant change was to step up the effort to preserve these rare vines by farming Chateau La Colombiere biodynamically in 2006. As the vines have been cultivated here in the same way since the 15th century, this was a significant change, to say the least. Add to this hand picking and sorting and you get the base to create something delicious. Terroir is composed mostly of gravel and sandy alluvial soils part of the Tarn river terraces. Colombiere's 25 years old vines share the space with some fantastic 70 year old Negrette vines. Every biodynamic preparation is prepared and dynamised on site, with the focus placed on activating life in the soils by using weeds, cereal cover and ploughing. The Cauvin's prefer a 'hands-off' winemaking style, considering their efforts are best directed at the vineyard. In the cellar, they use gravity to preserve the quality of the grapes.The grapes are hand harvested and hand sorted. For reds, grapes are then partially de-stemmed and lightly crushed before moving straight into cement vats. Diane and Philippe will maintain that it’s not rocket science. We think they’re pretty special though, and can drink these fresh and floral wines morning, noon and night…(responsibly).

- Champagne Waris-Hubert | Mosaique Wines
Champagne Waris Hubert is lead by Stephanie and Olivier Waris, 5th generation organic grower producer based in Avize. The beautiful Champagne they craft from the Cote des Blancs, Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne are going strengths to strengths, we could't recommend them enough for their elegance and purity. CHAMPAGNE WARIS HUBERT Côte des Blancs & Vallée de la Marne, Champagne Organic certified The Champagne Guide, Tyson Stelzer: “Growers in the grand cru of Avize for four generations, the Waris-Hubert family bottled their first champagnes in 1998 from plots vinified separately in 11 surrounding villages and as far as the Massif de Saint Thierry, Sézanne and Aube.” The Financial Review, Max Allen: “The go-to champagnes when you want to impress” NV Waris-Hubert Albescent Grand Cru At the heart of Avize in the Côte des Blancs, Champagne Waris-Hubert is very much a family story. Fifth-generation vignerons Stéphanie Hubert and Olivier Waris, together with their children Blanche, Antonin, and Cyprien, tend 18 hectares of vines across some of Champagne’s most prized terroirs. Their roots run deep, yet their outlook is forward-thinking, marrying heritage with a modern sensibility. From the 2023 vintage, Waris-Hubert is proudly organic certified—an achievement shared by only a handful of Champagne growers (5%). Horse-drawn ploughs in their Grand Cru parcels, sheep grazing the cover crops, and minimal intervention in the cellar all reflect a philosophy of care, patience, and respect for the land. As Olivier notes, “The more the roots tickle the chalk, the more the wines reveal finesse and character.” This respect extends beyond the vineyard. Under the guidance of son Cyprien, the family also runs a working farm, harvesting vegetables and crops with the same care and patience that underpin their viticulture. This holistic approach reflects their philosophy of stewardship: tending the earth in a way that ensures vitality for generations to come. In the vineyards, they work across a remarkable patchwork of terroirs: Avize, Oger, Cramant, Chouilly, Mesnil sur Oger (Grand Cru, Côte des Blancs), Grauves (Premier Cru, Côte des Blancs), Aÿ (Grand Cru, Vallée de la Marne), Barbonne-Fayel (Coteaux Sézannais), Marfaux (Vallée of Ardre) and Monthelon (Côteaux Sud of Epernay). The plantings are 70% Chardonnay, 20% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier, true to a Côte des Blancs heritage and the broader expression they seek from Champagne’s mosaic of terroirs. In the cellar, precision and patience is the name of the game. Each parcel is vinified individually, allowing the character of place to shine. A smaller component of the base wines is produced in large oak barrels (600 litres from Tonnellerie de Champagne), which brings subtle texture and depth. They prefer partial malolactic fermentation to preserve energy and vibrancy, ensuring their Champagnes retain the tension and freshness that define their style. The resulting wines are elegant, expressive, and finely etched, expressions of both site and philosophy. Going on the road with Stéphanie and Blanche for the launch and meeting so many from the trade, press, and Champagne-loving community was a confirmation of our excitement in the rising quality of their beautiful wines.

- Domaine Garon | Cote-Rotie | Mosaique Wines
Kevin and Fabien Garon farmed organically their vineyards and produce a range of spectacular Cotes du Rhone, IGP Collines Rhodaniennes Syrah, Cote Rotie, Saint Joseph as well as Condrieu and IGP Viognier. DOMAINE GARON Cote-Rotie, Cotes du Rhone Organic non-certified Jeb Dunnuck Revue des Vins de France: 1* star “We are seduced by the style of the wines from the domaine, they stand out with the finesse of their texture. The fruit are precise, the ageing go strength to strength with each terroir and they ability to handle the oak. “Tasting their Cote-Rotie is always fascinating.” We can all agree, Cote-Rotie in northern Rhone is one of, if not the spiritual home of Syrah. The Garon family certainly thinks so, having based themselves here, in Ampuis, since the 15th century. The family patriach Jean Garon was born here in 1475, battling hard times and growing grapes for a merchant (Guigal), along with farming fruit. Fast forward a few centuries to 1982, when Jean François and Carmen Garon replanted vines in the abandoned slopes of Cote-Rotie. "It wasn't bad for the vineyards to rest a hundred years between plantings" according to, Jean-Francois! In 2003, Jean-Francois' sons Kevin and Fabien joined the estate, taking the wines to yet another level. Kevin said “every year, the wine is different. A vintage is often full of memories, a bottle always captures a little bit of the story. In the Cote Rotie more than anywhere we can say that the wine is made in the vineyard, in the middle of the steep and dangerous terraces.” With about 8.3 hectares, the Garons farm the land organically and even use the horse. Weeding, like most of the vineyard work, is done by hand. This care taken in the vineyard is reflected in wines of great expression and personality. There is no over extraction, with gentle and long vinification bringing finesse. They are seeking a more Burgundian style of Côte-Rôtie. Cotes du Rhone “La Part des Vivants”: A name which means the wine left for us to drink after the angel share. The grapes come from Ampuis area, declassified Cru Cairanne and also Rasteau fruits. Mostly de-stemmed, traditional vinification. 70% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 10% Carignan. Aged in very old barrels of 228 litres. Low sulphur. Black fruits, concentrated wild berries, spices, dark chocolate and a slight earthiness. Beautiful acidity and pure with a saline finish. “Les Grandes Parcelles” IGP Collines Rhodaniennes: 100% Syrah, affectionately referred to as ababy Cote Rotie, sometimes including an amount of declassified fruit. Hand harvested, followed by traditional vinification. Elegant, intense with dark cherry, small berries, fine tannins, long balanced finish. La Sybarine: A blend of 25 year old Syrah from plots on decomposed granite from the “Cote Rotie Blond area” (Lieu dit Goutay and Mollard). Handpicked, temperature controlled ferment ans roughly 80% destemmed. Daily punching down and pumping over during alcoholic fermentation, followed by 15 days maceration and 14 months in old French oak barrels. Aromas of blackberry and strawberry with violet, citrus notes as well as grilled bacon. Vibrant fruit on the palate, with rich and round with lush red fruits and blood orange notes lifted by good acidity. Approachable power, the finish is long with deep red fruit ending with a dark earthy minerality. Drink young and over the next ten years. The Garon also farm: Les Triotes (schist blond area), Les Rochins (Brune area next to La Landonne), Lancement and delicious white IGP Viognier and impressive Condrieu.
