Our Newest Arrivals | Ten Producers We’re Excited to Pour
Written by Jaime Jalandoni
There is a certain magic in the arrival of a new shipment. It’s the culmination of months of research, producer visits, and anticipation. This latest delivery is particularly special, as it bridges the gap between curiosity and nostalgia for us at PWX. We are welcoming a handful of exciting and passionate new producers to our shelves, while seeing the return of a few names that have been off our shelves for far too long.
Whether you are looking for a bottle to mark a milestone or a new producer to sink your teeth into, there is truly something for everyone in this tremendous shipment, which Jojo and I have put together with the help of our equally passionate team.
The New Arrivals: Fresh Perspectives on Tradition and New Classics
These producers represent the vibrant future of Champagne and Burgundy—estates that balance deep respect for heritage with a clear, modern vision.
Champagne Chavost: Located in the village of Chavost (Chavot-Courcourt), this producer is carving out a name for itself with a bold commitment to “vin nature” philosophy in Champagne. Their wines are fermented with native yeasts and often without added sulphur, resulting in a glass that is incredibly pure, vinous, and alive.
Billaud-Simon: If you crave the mineral “snap” of Chablis, this is for you. These wines are crystalline and sharp, while retaining the classic, oyster-shell-like salinity for which Chablis is renowned. They are the quintessential expression of Kimmeridgian limestone.

Domaine de Cassiopée: Rising stars, Talloulah and Hugo are crafting wines with a lightness of touch and a shimmering energy out of their cellar in Sampigny-lès-Maranges. These are “quiet” yet vibrant wines—elegant, floral, and deeply expressive of their cool-climate origins.
Puy de L’Ours: Based in Savigny-lès-Beaune, this young domaine is quickly becoming a favourite for those who love precision. Their wines feel honest and unforced, capturing the brightness of Burgundy with great clarity.
Jean Marc Millot: Known for a delicate, “infusion-style” of winemaking. Instead of heavy extraction, you get wines of transparency, perfume, and incredible grace. They are a joy to drink even in their youth.

Gérard Mugneret: A name that commands respect in Vosne-Romanée, at the helm is Pascal Mugneret, who has refined the domaine’s style toward a breathtaking level of elegance. There is a clear spiritual kinship here with his cousins, the celebrated Mugneret sisters of Domaine Mugneret-Gibourg; like them, Pascal employs a gentle touch to achieve a signature silkiness and soulful transparency, albeit in his own style, through the use of whole cluster vinification and minimal reliance on sulphur. While not “new” to the world, bringing these into our shop is a proud moment. These are sophisticated, intellectual Burgundies that show incredible depth and silky textures.
Nicole Lamarche: Taking over the reins of the family estate with a clear, elegant vision. Nicole’s wines from Vosne-Romanée and beyond are lauded for their ethereal quality and finesse. These are bottles which carry the lacy elegance and purity of fruit for which Burgundy is renowned.
Back in Stock: The Return of Old Favourites
It has been a while—too long, if you ask us—since we’ve had these bottles on our racks. Their absence was felt, but their return is a cause for celebration.
Producer: Champagne Bérêche
Why We Missed Them: Few growers capture the power and tension of Champagne quite like the Bérêche family. Their wines are intense, structured, and profoundly gastronomic.
Producer: Henri Magnien
Why We Missed Them: The compelling voice of Gevrey-Chambertin, led by Charles Magnien. These wines offer the classic “iron fist in a velvet glove” character—sturdy and dark-fruited, yet impeccably polished and spice-laden. Offering considerable value for some of the village’s renowned 1er cru vineyards.
Producer: Lou Dumont
Why We Missed Them: The captivating work of Koji Nakada, who blends Japanese precision with Burgundian soul. He and his wife Jae Hwa vinify an eclectic range of appellations with exciting changes such as biodynamic conversion and a new project in Champagne that will launch soon. These are incisive, artisanal wines that always punch well above their weight and resonate deeply with us.
Once these wines arrive, we’ll be hosting in-store tastings. Stay tuned for the official dates, we can’t wait to share them with you.
