Fruity, with fine tannins and an easy finish
Bright ruby. Red and black fruit up front, cherry and blackberry, with a little pepper from the Syrah and a floral side from the Cinsault. In the mouth it is juicy and supple, with fine tannins and enough freshness to keep you pouring.

Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault
A classic trio of the French south. Syrah brings colour, dark fruit and pepper, Grenache brings ripe red fruit and warmth, and Cinsault keeps the wine light on its feet.
The recipe is the same as in 2023, but the 2025 comes in at 12.5% instead of 14%, so expect a lighter, fresher bottle.

Clément Bony
Clément Bony grew up in Mulhouse, studied winemaking in Montpellier and spent several years as a sommelier in natural wine bars in Strasbourg. In 2018 he left to work with Marco Buratti in the Veneto and at Cantina Giardino near Naples, then at Momento Mori near Melbourne, where he made his first wines.
Back in France in 2020, he started Bonyvresse in the Roussillon, working alongside Loïc Roure of Domaine du Possible. Since 2023 he has his own cellar in Sainte-Croix-aux-Mines, just outside the Alsace wine route, where he puts the sun of the Roussillon and the cool of Alsace into the same bottles. The grapes are organic or biodynamic and picked by hand, fermentations are wild, nothing is fined or filtered, and sulphur is low or none.
