We're having a Hot French Summer this month! Going for unique and chillable, with a gorgeous Nouveau, and easy drinking Carignan and tasty Garnacha. Then we cap it off with a stunner from down under that deserves it's own special moment, but we won't judge you for cracking it open when you throw some treats on the barbie!

About Marcel Richaud
If you've heard of Cairanne, one of the best terroirs in the vast Côtes-du-Rhône-Villages appellation it's probably because of Marcel Richaud. Richaud comes from a vine growing family who'd historically and prosperously sold grapes to the local cave cooperative. So it came as a shock when Marcel, only 17 at the time, told his father he wanted to become a "vigneron indépendant". To his senior, this was incomprehensible and felt very risky: nothing to gain, more work and less pay. Undeterred, Marcel started with 14 hectares of his aunt's vines, producing his first vintage at 19 years old in a dilapidated cellar with no roof. He quickly made a name for himself in the nascent Parisian natural wine scene of the early 1990's and eventually began incorporating his father's cooperative vines into his eponymous production. Today, Marcel is retired and the estate is run by his children Thomas, Claire and Edith. The estate has grown to a sizeable 80 hectares over the years, a combination of Marcel progressively recouping family vineyards from the cooperative and purchasing land; about 40 hectares come from the family and the other 40 have been purchased or planted since the 1980's. - Louis Dressner
