Jean-Baptiste Hardy’s "Éclats" is a stunning interpretation of Melon de Bourgogne, showcasing the true potential of this quintessential Loire Valley variety. With his commitment to organic and low-intervention winemaking, Hardy captures the essence of his vineyards in every bottle, delivering a wine that is vibrant, authentic, and full of character.
Named "Éclats" – meaning "shards" or "brilliance" – this wine is a testament to Hardy’s dedication to precision and purity. The vineyards, rooted in the mineral-rich soils of the Loire, imbue the wine with an unmistakable saline and stony edge. On the nose, fresh aromas of green apple, lemon zest, and white flowers are complemented by hints of wet stone and sea spray.
On the palate, "Éclats" is alive with energy. Crisp citrus and orchard fruit flavours dance on a backbone of zippy acidity, with a long, mineral-driven finish that leaves you craving the next sip. Fermented and aged in neutral vessels, this wine allows the terroir to shine, unadorned and beautifully transparent.
"Éclats" exemplifies Hardy’s philosophy: wines that are true to their origins, elegantly crafted, and a joy to drink.

Delivery Times
We will look to have your delivery with you within 3 working days of receiving the order but please ask if you need it by a certain date and we'll do our best.
Vintages
We will endeavour to deliver vintages as advertised but they often change faster than we can update (we're pretty slow). So, again, it may be wise to confirm before ordering if you're in need of something particular. Please note: Some bottle images may not show the current vintage.
Surcharges
Surcharges often apply to deliveries outside mainland England so wise to confirm before you order. Indeed, Northern Ireland is beyond us unless shipping charges agreed beforehand.
