About the wine
- Virgile's released a tiny parcel of his tummy-warming Mourvedre, to raise funds for his dream winery.
- He snapped up some top-notch Mourvedre grapes that would have otherwise been lost into a blend... and let the rich, luscious, down-to-earth grape shine on its own.
- Tricky to pronounce (mooh-veh-dra if you're wondering) ...but oh-so-easy to drink. Virgile recommends a big buttery roast chicken and crispy sage stuffing - that's your Sunday sorted.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Virgile Joly
- Virgile Joly is almost annoyingly perfect. He's ultra organic, with the certificates to prove it. Dashingly good looking, with a beautiful wife, Magda, (who fell in love with him after one harvest). Stupidly talented with wine, he has glowing reviews from the doyenne of wine writing, Jancis Robinson.
- Plus he's not afraid of hard work. He bottled his first vintage himself. 3,000 bottles, Virgile and a funnel. Now that's dedication!
- 10 years later, he's producing some of the Languedoc's most sought after wines and we're using Angel funding to help him expand his winery and go on to even greater things. Plus his surname brings a smile to our face every time we see it - what's not to like!
